[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're doing a nice thing, calling him daily.  But I can totally see how it not working out one time shouldn't result in this type of response.  I would spend a few minutes looking at it from his end.  He has NO idea what's going on in your house, or that you are stressed.  He is just sitting at home, waiting for you to call, and then feeling anxious when you don't.

I'd work at making it *less* regular.  Call on your way to work, or on a mid-day walk.  If it's a bit more unpredictable, he won't be waiting by the phone for every single call.  Still do the evening calls sometimes, of course, but it'll be good for him to not be hanging around waiting for this too.[/quote]

You're going to call a lonely father LESS because it annoys you? How petty. How disrespectful. What is wrong with you people?

I'd suggest the opposite. Texting him (silly things, memes/jokes/pics) instead of the once/day call. He'll have that connection daily w/o the calls and feel included.[/quote]
