Is once a week too often to talk to a parent?

[Kowaii]

I usually try and FaceTime my dad once a week as my kids love speaking to him (he lives quite far away) and I like speaking to my siblings (who are all children).

Apparently this is causing issues with his wife who has told me it’s not approx to disturb their family life so often and it’s weird that as an adult I want to speak to my father so often. I actually went years without speaking to him at one point, but I am happy with where things are now and my children really love him and miss him.

Aibu? Should I cut it down or is the wife the one being unreasonable? I know she doesn’t not like me at all but I feel she should just kind of get over that like I’ve had to.

Well just a little update for anyone still interested. I spoke to my dad about and he has said not to call him, he will call me when she’s not around… so I guess I won’t be speaking to him often as she doesn’t work so is home a lot.

@Kowaii l just read your update, that’s sad. I am sorry you are not you and your children are not higher on your dads priority list.

Wow OP. I am so sorry he is choosing to remain under the thumb like this.

She's jealous. Bang out of order.
