Calling Kids on the Honeymoon - is this weird.?
My soon to be hubby was just talking to his mother and said the only phone calls he intends on making on our honeymoon are to his kids. Does this seem odd to anyone? I find it a bit upsetting. It seems that a week for just us isn't to much to ask for against a life time of him me and his kids. If he was just calling and getting a direct line to the children - fine but of course that's not the case, the ex is going to pick up the phone and chat or bitch about something. It's not like his kids are going to forget he exists over the course of a week.

depends on how old they
depends on how old they are...if they older kids, he probably doesn't need too. On our honeymoon, which was 6 days, my DH didn't call SS, who is 11. But he only calls him once a week anyway. I called my son twice, he is 5 yrs old. I would have called everyday but it was international. It was a little hard on me going 2 or 3 days without talking to him, and very hard to be away from him for the whole week. Other than that I'd only been away from him for a max of 4 days when he was with his dad.

don't be upset
of course this is a very special time for you and your dh. When my dh and I got married, we both called our kids once daily to say hi and check in to see how everyone was. Allow him this. However the ex thing is another story. she should just let him talk to them and keep her nose out of the conversation.
Just pant and make kissy noises in the background if the ex

if the ex answers the phone, moan! You're gonna want to moan anyway, just from the sound of her voice! Maybe she'll be more than willing to let the kiddos answer if she doesn't care for the "background music".
I wouldn't make it an issue, really. Just no bitchin' by the ex allowed.
I called Mine
not everyday but I did feel the need to check in on them,to make sure things were going ok.
My husband on the other hand did not call his,and just told his son where we were going and he would
talk to him when he got back, maybe it's because mine were at home with a sitter, and his was with
the BM. he stuck to his word, he talked to him before we flew out,and on the ride home from the airport. maybe you could mention that plan to him???? to tell you the truth I don't think the KIDS cared,if we called they just wanted to know what we were bringing back for them.
No not at all
I didn't care when my H and I were married. We called SD and our BS. And a few months before we were married so was BM, we had SD for 1 week, BM called every night at 6 pm. Which was fine, I encouraged it. Even though I think she is psycho I know SD loves her.
It's not so weird unless they are grown adults
I guess it depends on their ages. When FH and I were on vacation SD23 called him and text him at least 3 or 4 times a day...When he didn't answer she sent text saying where are you? LOL She knew we were in North Carolina on vacation. To me that is weird...:(
I agree, Living...
When my H and I eloped, oldest SD HAD to call him to ask him some STUPID question (it was about the hours of a local church service...like DUH!! call the church or drive by it to see its posted schedule!!)
They've been good since I've joined this site (I think they've sensed the "change" in my attitude :D)...anyhoo, big test will be Valentine's weekend. We're going to Cancun...ONE PHONE CALL (unless someone is bleeding to death) from 29, 28, or 25 year old, and WE WILL HAVE A PROBLEM!!

Try LMOM .... that it the answer.
I would tell them to Leave Message On Machine! LMOM.
If it is important he/she can call them back.
My SS's BioPaternalGrandMa pulls that crap all of the time. She calls when we are on vacation to set up plane tickets for my Skids next visitation, she calls during birthday parties, Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years or when my Wife it at work.
I recommend that my wife not to answer and check the massage later. They usually don't leave messages. If it is not important enough to leave a message it is not important.
Just my thoughts of course.
Best regards,
