I'm trying to be understanding. It's hard when he went from never attending a game to all of a sudden insisting on being at all the games despite the league's covid policy of only one parent per game. I would have been so, so happy when we were married if he offered to take the kids by himself to anything for bonding time. He wanted to watch videogames and sleep in.
I'm trying to view it as positive, but at times it feels very controlling. I'm sending the eldest back to in person tomorrow and he wants to call and discuss the school supply list with me.It's a supply list! Like does he have to check to make sure I have the correct number of pencils and crayons? He has regularly chastised me if I forget even the smallest thing for one of the children's events. It's like he has gone from not being involved at all to monitoring my parenting.
Again, I'm not saying that him stepping up is a bad thing. But, I think I may have to nicely draw boundaries around the monitoring and correcting of me.
