Is twice a day video contact excessive?

[Thefutureisbright2017]

Ex partner insists on twice a day video contact with our DS 3. Morning 6.30am and evening. We split officially a year ago but I checked out over 2 after discovering his love of prostitutes.
Anyway Ive put my foot down now and said evening call before bed moving forward. Im getting to end of grief!

Just say no to your ex.

It's just manipulation @GoldenOrb. Tell him pick ups wil take place on the doorstep from now on. If the children push you to say why, just say 'Dad has done some things which aren't okay so it's best if he doesn't come in the house any more'. You will be teaching your kids how to have good boundaries with manipulative people.

Is there any possibility that you can pick up your son from some other place, so exH doesn't have to go to your house? Could you wait outside, door closed and wait until exH leaves before opening the door? Could you make an excuse like " I was going to go to neighbor to pick up parcel" or "just nipping for milk" or something, to excuse yourself at the door step and close the door behind? Or just call him when nobody is present and say that you don't want him to enter the house?
