You can't give out only bits and pieces of your situation and then expect to get reasonable responses that match the situation you did not divuldge. :rolleyes:
To my original question, I was expecting answers like "I don't answer if we're busy", "I only answer after homework, dinner, etc. is finished", "I don't answer after the kids are in bed", "I don't answer when we're at church". I will add, too, that he doesn't leave messages.

People who have to deal with an ex and child custody answered your original question honestly based on a typical relationship. Most honestly don't have a problem with the ex calling and don't avoid his/her calls. You seem to have issues beyond the usual so their answers did not match your expectations. It makes sense to me...:shrug:

And find him a wife. Got mine off my back. :yay:

God help me I wish mine would grow up just a little bit. If he did he might be able to attract a nice 18 year old girlfriend and get off my back.

:lmao: From what you've said, I believe you!! But even an 18 year old won't put up with that crap for long.

I never leave messages. I have a bias against voice mail. Ask any number of the women in my harem.

The only stipulation we ever put on phone calls is not to call too late, after 8, cuz he is in bed anyways and she don't need to talk to me about nothing...:lmao:

Other than that I'll answer pretty much anytime....


She gets him one night a week and every other weekend, I call him every day he is not with me to say goodnight/I love you to him..

It's bad enough to get it from him, let alone to have to repeat it for someone. I was just trying to get a general consensus on whether or not people always answer the exes calls. Instead, I got judged on what a horrible mother I am for not answering his calls. I had no idea that so many people had such good relationships with their exes. Unfortunately for me, mine is still mad that I left him and I will have to listen to his namecalling and rants forever so that the kids can have a good relationship with their father. I'm going to take the advice of setting a time to call.

I get along great with mine. In fact, when he dropped chicklet off on Wednesday after their weekly dinner date, I busted him out for teaching her and unsavory silly bad habit. As much as he denied it and said he was trying to "correct" that, chicklet blurted out, Nu Uh! Daddy told me to do it to soandso!

He had the deer in the headlights look and I laughed. I also reminded him that I know him very well and that as long as he tries to lie and not smile, his wrinkles crinkle and give him away each and every time.

He agreed. :lmao:

Two things need to be said at this point:



1) If you tell half of a story, you will get advice/judgement based ONLY on the half that you tell. Before it sounded as if you didn't want to be bothered, while you were enjoying QT with the kids. (In fact, I believe you used those exact words, or something very close). You made no mention of verbal abuse or name calling.

2) Nobody called you a bad mother.

Like I said, I was trying to keep my bidnezz off the skreet. Well, now you have it. And you're right, "bad mother" was implied, not said directly.
