Why are you listening to a cry baby and a whiney whingeing EX?

Yes he is your children's dad but do you have to listen to the berating bellowing sick foghorn? Get a picture of a foghorn and stick it near the phone just to remind you, why you don't want to listen to him.

Can't he talk to his Anger management THERAPIST?

Maybe you should tell him to take out the video "Anger management" and learn something.

There is a special button on the mobile phone.. it is a red icon of a phone.. it means hang up or STOP LISTENING. If you have a landline phone, change your phone to a visual display number and hang up or delete the message when you recognize the number.

Direct him to the Desperate Housewives series, and ask him to take note... He could probably land a role because of his over reeeeeee-acting.

"Excuse me (his name and wait until there is silence on the other end) ..... Are you yelling on the telephone? I don't listen to yelling people on the telephone," and hang up.

"You always did have a problem with expenses and budgeting" and hang up.

"Your children love you and, I thank you for the financial investment, you are placing on their future education, and health care and wedding expenses (if you have daughters)," and hang up. Maybe send this one on a card with his children's faces on the front. Every Easter, Christmas, father's day and the children's birthdays and his birthday.

"I have a friend that makes voodoo dolls, for cry babies. I am considering having one made in your image," and hang up.

He just wants to continue the words/sword fight and exercise his CONTROL over your LISTENING EAR. The last bastion of his war tactics.... BIG NOISE.

And he knows HOW to press your pressure buttons.

VENT AWAY WITH US. IT IS GOOD FOR YOU.

Take a deep breath and say "Wow. What an immature man. I am so glad I am no longer living with him."

Go have that lovely cup of tea or hot chocolate and do something lovely with your children.

"Now where is that doll again?" Hee Hee Hee.
