//then denying your daughters' wants or needs accomplishes what?//
Is based on a misunderstanding of the situation. My kids will continue to do all of these activities. My W can afford them and is unwilling to pull them out of these activities. In the end she will pay the bill, regardless of what I do.
Personally, I think my kids are overscheduled, and it would be good for them if some of these activities dropped off the table.
