IMHO, if he already talked to the kids and calls back you may just want let it go to voicemail. I do think if you get a schedule set there could be less text conversation. BTW I don't think you should wake him up to see the kids, that is no longer your job. He fired you from that and he needs to learn some responsibility for his kids.
