I hear ya man. Similar thing for me - D7 wanted pajama party with the girl scouts tonight, but XW was getting a baby sitter at her house so old man and herself could go out. I made the suggestion and I dont push any further. Her getting a baby sitter when it is her weekend with the kids doesn't bother me anymore. She just has different priorities and values than I do. All I know is that when they are with me, I plan to do as much with my kids to mold them before the turn into teenagers and become more independent. Plus doing kid activities keeps me young at heart.
Just a little song to put things in perspective...
