As for him, if he doesn't want to set a schedule, he doesn't want to see the kids as I see it. He is continuing his self centered, "let the world revolve around me" garbage it seems.

One of the mistakes I made in my first divorce was allowing my ex convince me that I shouldn't have contact with his parents. I still wish I hadn't listened to him. If I were you, I would talk to your in laws unless they specifically ask you not to. He may just be trying to control you and prevent you from being honest with his parents.

You hit the nail right on the head! Thank you....
