[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 533627, member: 6705"] I agree with Susie* on this one. For a while, the kids were in sports all.the.time... Softball, soccer, cheerleading and football. Bio used these as a way to interfere with husband's parenting time, when she could. I don't like saying that but is is true. Then, because they missed a couple of games (a couple - not a lot) due to family stuff, we ended up with the court [B]ordering[/B] us to put the kids in sports. Jett hated football. I mean [I]hated[/I] it. Onyxx refused to play soccer. She also dropped out of cheerleading halfway through the season. Then she refused softball. Jett never had any interest in soccer at all and was iffy about softball. Court ordered or not, if the kids don't want to, we weren't going to waste the money, Know what I mean?? But here's the thing, regardless - husband or I went to every game. Mostly both of us, but sometimes just one (usually him). One of us took the kids to every practice [I]unless it was bio's parenting time[/I]. Honestly? I hate football. I hate soccer. I hate baseball. They bore me to TEARS. I'd rather pick my nose with a razorblade treated with lemon pepper. And the kids know I only go because I support THEIR efforts. But - sports - GAH. He wants to play? Great. easy child wants to ____ and you want to ____ and husband wants to ____ so [I]the rest of you are compromising for difficult child most of the time and he needs to compromise for you sometimes too[/I]...
