We're just getting started with my girls doing different activities. I allowed one to do cheer leading and one to do gymnastics. One is rec and one is private and they are on different nights. Oldest dd is doing cheer leading and she has practice Tuesday and Thursdays with games on Saturday. Ydd has gymnastics on Monday and Wednesday and both have tumbling classes on Friday nights. My dd's are thrilled and I am excited for them. I totally get why you guys said to let them do what they want. The cost minus tumbling classes will equal out to what we were spending on karate. Speaking of karate, since i pulled my girls out so they could do their other activities dh's dad (stepdad) felt we were punishing ss so guess who is taking him to karate now? Dh is!!! Yes. He is taking him to scouts and karate all because his daddy said so. Puke. I swear that every time he cows down to his dad I have less and less respect for him. If he chose to do scouts and karate I'd have zero issue with it but he is only doing it because daddy said to. Dh is whining that all we are eating is crockpot food so I told him to make his own dinners from now on. I get the girls home at 5:30 and dinner is crock pot done. I feed them and out the door we go. Saturday and Sunday I am relaxing and if I feel like cooking something good I will otherwise everyone can have a sandwich. Dh decided that we would switch activities and allow others to stipulate what happens in our home and I am just making things fair with what he is allowing ss to do. Dh can suck an egg with his complaining.
