Instead of the phone calls, it would be him coming home and annoying the crap out of us by trying to act cool to the kids, tickling and wrestling even when they didn't want to, all of a sudden being interested in their lives and slurring and interrupting every time they tried to tell him, repeating the same questions or stupid things all the time and for me, he thought it was funny to poke at me. Just poke his finger at me and that was supposed to be affectionate!! Then when we didn't appreciate his "attention" it was woe is me and you guys always pick on me and don't appreciate me.
