So today I get an email from X complaining about the activities I'm having D9 in. That she needs time to unwind and work on her spelling words. I typed up an email in reply and now I'm having second thoughts. Send or not send?

I have her work on her spelling words every day she's with me. I have them already input in for the week on spellingcity.com (did it yesterday). I have had her in fun activities long-term now, and I think they are good for her, and she enjoys them. The soccer is 6 weeks, and I think a great way for her to unwind and have fun. Another girl in her class is playing on her team and she got on the all-As honor roll.

As goalie part of the game, she caught the ball and stopped the other team from scoring! I think she should have more in her life than just school/homework. Your mom told me that when she was in school, her extracurricular activies in sports really helped her have better self-esteem (she had similar learning issues as D9). I think it would be best if we could just focus on our own parenting, and not be critical of each other.

Should I send this or just no reply to his? Thoughts?
