Your wife usually takes your S to football practice. I think it's great your wife is appreciative. But to not do it if she isn't?
I'll ask, why is she the one who usually does it? If you enjoyed taking him and getting more time with him, why don't you work something out with your W and alternate?
I've notices a "wife usually does it" theme when it comes to the kids, like the birthday gift. I think these are great opportunities for you to 180. And not only does this 180 show how you can take initiative with the kids, but I bet your S would love it.
I personally swore I wouldn't be a doormat, but when it came to our daughter, if he wasn't willing to get it done, I would. I mostly do all of her activities. I haven't gotten an ounce of appreciation in 8 years for all I do for our daughter. But I don't do it for the appreciation of her father (I admit, it would be nice) I do it because my daughter is happy. because no matter what, she can always count on me. That's priceless.
