Just saw this on another Q & A site, I didn't answer it, but for real....My X hangs up on me all the time FOR NO REASON....and is ALWAYS on the phone when my Babes want to try to talk to him, he is SO RUDE to them, (they are 8 and 10) Even in restaruants, he had that danged phone!!
We NEVER EVER had "US" time and this is their biggest complaint to me , that daddy NEVER "listens". he just talks talks talks talks talks even in the store. :( thats so sad!!
Then when i tell him "like we discussed" he SWEARS i didnt tell him that!" What to do?? He will never change! How to bring this up in court? The court is always on HIS side, politics, money, and his family owns half the county...All i really want to do is give my babes a fighting chance with their daddy. They just want his ATTENTION!!! advice , anyone???

Yes it is most disrespectful. You can politely state you are "going" to hang up now but don't hang up without any prior warning. Come on-treat others as you would want to be treated is that not the saying?
Really it just comes down to common courtesy. If the person on the other end is a jackass do not stoop down to their level if they hang up on you without prior warning. Be better than that and let it go. I have always said that treating others with respect will always be remembered no matter who you come across. And I have come across alot of bitches and pricks in my time. I simply take the high road. I do not wait for their behavior to change. If I were you the next time your ex hangs up on you then do it to him the next time he calls BUT warn him first. It always works for me. Hopefully he will get the hint. If not, spell it out to him. Good Luck

My personal opinion is that cell phones are the bain of human existence. I don't have an answer for you other than stop setting your children up for heartache. Have them do something else, no involving dad. Maybe he'll notice they aren't around, but I wouldn't hold my breath. Just because someone can reproduce does not make them a parent.

OMG!! I'm sorry, but you sound like you're still very emotionally connected to him and probably he's very happy to be divorced from you as you seem to be holding on very tightly to unrealistic expectations that he should be a certain way.
Let him be himself, whether or not you think it's rude, your opinion doesn't matter, that's why you are not married anymore. He's not trying to please you or live up to your expectations and I bet he really doesn't care what you think.
Sounds like you are a bit emotionally abusive towards him. He hangs up on you because it's probably the only thing he can think to do when he really feels like saying something rude to you. Consider that he's being polite by hanging up on you before he says the wrong thing. It's his way of drawing boundaries.
Let him be.
ANd if the kids see him for who he is then they will see him for what he is, they won't need you to shine your light on his faults, even if he lies and is manipulative. I bet they have no problem seeing what's giong on.
