It begins
We had our very first run in with sks not being able to participate in something really cool bc of BM. Up until now we really haven't enrolled them in anything super fun bc all youth sports and such fall on weekends. We do have a few during the week things, but no team activities. (kids go to bm EOWE) Well SD was asked to participate in a spelling competition but it falls on bms weekend. BM wont let her go- made her choose between the bee and visitation. (bc you know bm cant take the few hours to spend watching her participate)
really sucks, she was so excited about it. Anyway- do any of you with older kids have experience in this? How does it all play out once the kids are in high school and their stuff is on weekends? Do they just not participate in anything fun bc it is on the other parents "time"? Feeling disheartened and really sad for sks
BM tried to enroll skids in
BM tried to enroll skids in sports at her house (45 miles away) that fell completely on DH's time .. DH didn't bite.
He enrolled them in a program halfway between the two parents' homes so BM could attend if she wanted. The activity occurred entirely on his time (instructional leagues are weekends only here). She never attended a single practice or game.
As they get older and outgrow the instructional leagues, it may become more of an issue. DH will likely be forced to take them to BM's area to attend games when they start needing weekday practices. He won't stand in the way of that. It's a shame your BM can't see the harm she is causing
