Me and my husband have 4 children between us, one of them is his from a previous relationship who has lived with him for the majority of her life, she's 14.
Whenever we go on holiday his ex always wants to be in contact with her daughter. Its absolutely fine but a little excessive in my opinion as she will pester her by text and if she doesn't answer she tries calling and questions why she hasn't answered. Once she does get ahold of her the conversation always ends with, 'don't forget to call me tomorrow'.
What's really annoying too is that the ex insists on video calling so she can see what her daughter can see. It feels so intrusive to me and I feel like we may as well have booked her a place on the holiday with us!
Whenever she goes away with her mum we always say, 'don't worry about contacting us, just have a great time' just to take the pressure off. Does anybody else think her mum needs some boundaries when we go away and how do I go about it?
To make it clear, I have absolutely no problem her mum being in contact while we are away but her behaviour seems a bit too much.
