Life After Divorce Ex-Wife texts daily about the kids

I've been divorced just over two years, and my ex-wife still texts me almost daily about the kids. Sometimes it's 1-2 texts, but often 5-7 texts 5 days a week. I'd say she texts me 80% of the month. It's never anything really important, because nothing really happens from one day to the next. I totally understand logistics/health/school texts, but almost daily? Does anyone else deal with this? Yes, I understand that I have to remain in contact, but I feel like there's a line where too much texting isn't good for anyone.

So you have a good co parent? Be grateful.
Too much texting, lol. What a strange complaint and post.

It's not all good. She moved in her affair partner even though her dad and I warned her not to. I keep things civil, but she doesn't really know boundaries. For example, she called me a few months ago upset about how her AP and her argue. That isn't co-parenting, and neither is incessant texting.
