I am not sure about calling him a narcissist but he could have a good dose of vanity. Maybe he doesn't even realize he's doing it...

As for the kid thing, that's totally normal. I get that.

As for the texting thing, oh man I'm so guilty of this, even with voice mail sometimes. I sometimes get a text, think "Oh, I'll respond to it later" then totally forget. I get voice to text voicemail too, and I have sometimes done it with that too.

I just flat out tell people it's better to email me because I check and respond to all my messages there eventually because i check it so many times a day. Whereas I don't go back and check my voicemail or text messages often other than when they come in. If he doesn't respond to your texts that aren't obvious questions, then maybe try and gently ask about it. It could very well be that he just forgot since they weren't outright questions.
