my husband and i have been having drama. right now we're fighting because he didn't answer his cell phone when it was important for him to have it that day because his son was sick and knew he maybe needed the favor of bringing our daughter to school and bringing my son to the E.R. i normally wouldn't have a problem w/ him not answering cuz i know he's at work and he may be busy. BUT i called his work to leave a message and his coworker told me he was at lunch. w/ all the things going on that day it was most important to have his cell w/ him and to be reachable. he said he forgot his phone and anyways he doesn't like to bring his phone w/ him. so i asked him nicely...if from now on he can answer his cell IF he's NOT BUSY...in case of emergency's since i don't have transportation. his reaction was hell no and he's not going to be put on check. which i'm not trying to do...just trying to have him available in case of emergencies. not like i call for no reason..just important things.

FIRST OF ALL HE'S AT LUNCH. I DON'T EXPECT HIM TO ANSWER HIS CELL DURING WO RK. BUT IF YOUR AT LUNCH AND YOUR KIDS ARE SICK AND NEED TO BRING THEM TO THE E.R. THEN WHAT'S THE PRO BLEM OF JUST FOR THAT DAY MAKING YOURSELF AVAILABLE INCASE OF EMERGENCYS.

he needed a DOCTOR not 911. 911 is for serious problems where someone is at risk of dying. my son had a FEVER...he didn't need 911...just a simple doctor to see him. sheesh some people.

I just read your question and dont get the "favor" part as its his duty to helpprovide for your children. Not answering his cellphone may be one thing but to leave his wife stranded without a vehicle or reliable means of transportation in case of an emergency is unspeakable, especially when youre new to an area with no friends or relatives. Id tell him either he starts answering his phone, emergency or not, or get you a dependable vehicle so you wont have to rely on him and that way he wont have to answer his phone if its such an inconvenience to him. Also you need to document all of this or if and when it happens again, in case you ever get your fill of enough is enough and decide to move on that you will have proof of his dereliction of fatherly duty in divorce court. Also I sense something wrong in this relationship and your question isnt the beginning, but I cant explain it but start documenting everything. Good luck and if I can be of further help email me

From what you are saying, it sounds as if you guys have some communication issues. I'm betting he feels like you check up on him. Whether that is accurate or not doesn't really matter, that is what he is feeling. It isn't unreasonable for you to be able to reach him in an emergency. But, I'm guessing from his reaction, he is feeling that you contact him too much when it isn't an emergency. Talk it out and find out what is really going on in why he responded the way he did. Don't be accusatory as that will only anger him. Ask him if you are doing anything that makes him not want to answer his cell phone. AND be ready for the response. If he says you call too much, then maybe you have a behavior that needs to change as well. The key here is that the two of you need to communicate. Don't just tell each other off. Figure out how to make it better and to create a way that he can be reached in an emergency and yet he doesn't feel like he is on a leash by you.

Something Specially
For You
I said a prayer for you today
And know God must have heard-
I felt the answer in my heart
Although He spoke no word!
I didn't ask for wealth or fame
(I knew you wouldn't mind)-
I asked Him to send you treasures
Of a far more lasting kind!
I asked that He'd be near you
At the start of each new day
To grant you health and blessings
And my friendship to share your way
I asked for happiness for you
In all things great and small-
But it was for His loving care
I prayed the most of all.

HI!
I agree with the "mom Shilnl" answer. The others obviously have other opinions on parenting. HE has an obligation to have it with him. What father would go to lunch if his child may need to go to Emergency????????? Why would he think you are checking up on him??? Better open your eyes!!!

I don´t understand your problem. If your kid is so sick that he needs to go to the E.R and you cannot reach your husband, you can call 911.

i think he is up to something why have a cell phone if your not going to carry it or anwser....my husband will call me back within a half hour if i call and he just can't anwser his phone because he know i have the kids and if one of them is sick and i think they might have to go to the doctor he either stays home or will get a ride to work so i am able to care for them .....kids come first.

Sorry yet we desire a sprint greater documents. Who broke up with who and why. perhaps your in basic terms attempting a sprint too complicated. perhaps you're able to lower back off in basic terms a sprint to grant him some area. this provides you with the two time to think of. perhaps attempt some one else. it may be greater desirable for you.

Maybe you shouldn't be getting married or having children if you need strangers on the Internet to tell you what to do or think...
