One thing I didn't quite think about during this whole process is that while you're detaching, so is your WAS.
You can't control his mood, anger, pissy-ness - so don't bother trying, and do your best to just ignore it.
Is your S5 old enough to just say goodnight and hang up next time? I'm thinking that might be good... let him talk to S3 and D3 first, have them pass the phone off to S5, and have him be the one to say bye and hang up. Helps save your sanity a bit if H is being pissy.
