I agree saffie and FIB, it is about the kids and believe me, I have dedicated time and even given up time for them for activities outside the home, many times. But the more I give the more is taken. Remember my time with them is limited as it is.
Outside activities such as sports are good but so is private time with dad doing things together. I can see Ex signing them up for everything for the "good of the children", thus effectively denying me my private time if I say yes or causing the guilt trip (and the ugly word resentment) if I say no. Again, where do I draw the line?

If you and your W were still together, this time thing would not be an issue and your children would be partaking in activities they wanted to do without all this drama. They would be gradually spending less time with their parents and more with their friends....
So true. But we are not together. An unfortunate byproduct of divorce is that the children will not be able to participate in everything and that they will lack continuity in parts of their lives. I wish I could prevent that but I cannot.
