I'm not sure why you've put this in legal, and I'm not a legal bod, but I'm not quite sure what your problem is. He and you have presumably agreed 50/50 care, if he works (do you? Are you looking for work?) of course he needs to provide childcare, like any other working parent. Like many other working parents, if he can reduce his childcare costs by involving the wider family, he does. And your dc gain from this by forming loving relationships with grandparents, aunties, uncles and cousins.

If you don't work (why not?) and would prefer to reduce his contact time, is this something you can discuss with him?

Surely it's normal to have your children looked after while you go to work. I can't see anything wrong with what he's doing at all.

You don't get to say what he does with your children while they are in his care. Equally he doesn't get to say what you do with them while they are in your care. As long as he is not putting them at risk there is no problem.
