saffie...THAT last post I agree with. That's what I tell Jeff. He must now take time and SORT OUT his feelings here. What is anger against his WAW? What is the truth with regards to his son re: baseball? Does S11 want to play the sport or is he being ramshackled to it? Jeff..have you sat down in Starbucks with S11 over a hot chocolate and asked him what he wants to do?
If S11 said he hates baseball, then, there would be a HUGE discussion to have with WAW.
If S11 wants to play, I think it behooves you to 'make it work'. I also think that you should then work something out with WAW where there are sports and leagues where some of the time falls on HER days so that you DO have the time that you need.
Jeff...tomorrow...Saturday..is my day with the kids until weekends are split. S8 has an hour and a half baseball clinic...I arranged a playdate for him for two hours after that....we then have my sis' birthday across the street and he will play with his cousin's. He then has a sleepover party. I am trying to arrange for D5 to have a playdate during his baseball clinic so she doesn't have to sit bored in a cold warehouse.
S8 is going to have a GREAT DAY tomorrow. I will have little time with him....but he needs this now.
What is right for your S11? Why don't YOU start planning the activities and playdates that work for YOU? A 180? I register my kids for all the sports and now 'do playdates'.
Sort it out. But..by ALL MEANS....I support you on maintaining the place in the equation. There is NO SUCH THING as unilateral decisions with regards to the education, health and welfare of your kids.
Strength and honor. FIB
