Exes phone calls

My wife’s ex husband calls her daily to “talk about the kids” he also calls night at bed time to speak to his kids. Now I would understand if he was actually a great father. But he’s not. He sees his kids once a kid and it usually entails him stopping by our house picking them up for dinner in the middle of rush hour nd dropping them off late before bedtime. He’s a joke and doesn’t take hem anymore than that. His phone calls are annoying and he calls her daily. He also dropped his son (7) off at our house at 1030 pm one night after taking him to dinner and watching the game and my wife seemed thrilled about this which was odd. She thinks that is being a good dad. Any thoughts on this? He never takes his kids on the weekend or for more than few hours a week so we can never get any alone time or go on any trips ourselves because of this.

Your wife doesn’t mind her ex being invasive and inappropriate because she’s still in love with him and likely still sleeping with him. Normally ex husbands grate peoples nerves but are tolerated for the sake of the kids. However it sounds like she likes him calling because there are still feelings there. Red flag. Please ignore the first reply poster. It’s probably your wife lol

Calling your wife daily? Calling at bedtime? Not sticking to his visitation schedule? Dropping his kid off at inappropriate times? Hell no. Put your foot down man.
