trying to be patient and strong 6

I think you have to remember to not let him off the hook. When he says he is going to do something and then he doesn't follow through, shoot a dart his way. It would have been fine to say, "the kids were diappointed that you didn't call so I tried to distract them with a game." That way he knows he let them down(yet again), they were disappointed that he didn't follow through and more importantly that you have once again picked up the pieces for your kids sake not for his.

If he drops the ball on something that doesn't involve the kids, don't rescue him. Just my humble opinion.
