[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm totally on your side but you should really try not to get the kids' hopes up. Text and ask if he can call. Don't let them sit there and watch him hit "ignore."[/quote] +1 I would ask him to pick a time each day (doesn't have to be the same time) and schedule the call. He gets to fit it into his workflow, you and the kids get to talk to him. The larger issue is that he works a lot. If you are willing to give up some of the stuff that his income pays for, you would have a leg to stand on in asking him to cut down on his hours or find another job. You could also offer to get a job to help make up the difference. If you want all the money, you just don't like how it's earned, I think you can continue to express that you'd like to see him more often, but otherwise, you have to let it go. No guilt trips, no arguments, etc. This is assuming he's not having an affair, which is completely different problem. [/quote]
