Dance usually does take place Thurs. nights (my time). It been going since September. Its just because its the end of the year recital that we have it this weekend as well, then its over. H signed our boys up for hockey when he doesn't even live here, so I guess you could say that falls on my time 90% of the time. They love it, so I don't mind. I ended up making lots if new friends, some are coming over tomorrow for a bbq. I don't think H saw me taking to the hockey mom role as well as I did. He wasn't honest about the time commitment for sure! Sometimes I wonder if he did it to control my time, aside from wanting his boys in hockey.
I was a pretty good teenager, but part of your relationship withD14 could be more about the age. I ignored my parents for the most part, but would choose my mom when need be, even though through my childhood I was closer to my dad.
Kids and their activities, a full time job. On a side note I've always tried to encourage a better relationship between H &D. Even when were still together. I know how important it is. D comes from a house of boys, and sadly I don't think he gets it. Bravo to you for getting it, both you D's will be better off for it. Plus your D14 won't be a teen forever, she'll see what she has in you.
