Wife and I are married for 13 yrs. 2 kids.
My wife and her mom (who is a widow age 70) have a weekly phone call -- Sunday nights. MiL always calls about 10:00 or just after call usually goes 45-min - hour.
I admit I sometimes find these calls intrusive as I don't get a lot of "us" time with my wife sans kiddos. Eg stayed watching a little tv just us on the couch after kids go to bed... (On a Sunday). 10:03. Phone rings - off she goes.
I have expressed my displeasure on this - not received well by my wife. Have suggested maybe they do the scheduled call when I'm working or commuting... Every day for all I care Also not received well. Mil is retired. I really don't want to interfere or stifle their communication. Just don't need to hear it and would prefer my wife is "present" during a little window of opportunity.
I don't want to come off as jealous needy guy. Or control freak guy... Am I out of line - or is this a reasonable request?
