Ok, I am going to preface this with the statement that, "They have good intentions." I really believe that, well atleast most of the time. Unfortunately it seems that with all of their grandiose ideas and expectations that in the end, there is usually a woman that has to take up the slack!
Daughter #1 has decided that she wants to be on the swim team because after seeing the Olympics, she plans on competing in the next summer games ;-). There is a summer team here in countrified Tracy, California that requires practice M-F 5:pm - 7:30 April - June and weekend meets for 8 weeks. Me AKA "Designated SuperMom" works weekends and helps said daughter hours nightly to maintain her grades. I think that this commitment is HUGE and it will aslo be pricy. They other kids will have to make huge sacrifices too. But Daddy Dearest says "This will be soooo good for her, if you don't want to support her, I will!" I don't have to be Miss Cleo to guess the outcome here! The practices will all fall on me! He will do the weekends and she will be LATE, Daughter 2 and Son 1 will be miserable as the watch their sister swim every weekend in the heat OR Daughter 1 will realize how hard the work is and want to quit and waste my $400!
In the mean time Husband, AKA "the plus 1 child" and I are huffy with each other and debating this nonsense!
Calgon......Take me away!
