[quote=Anonymous]My DH and I are having a disagreement and I'd like your opinion.

Our 6th grade DD is in middle school and can pick 3 electives (language, band, art, computer programming, drama etc). When she was transitioning from elementary to Middle school we discussed with her her options, she chose which ones she was interested in and that's what she enrolled in.

This spring she went ahead and chose her 3 electives without consulting her father or I. Her father is upset that she didn't tell us she was choosing and thinks we should weigh in on her choices (he's upset she switched from Spanish to French). I think her choosing by herself is fine. I would have liked her to discuss it with us but I like she has some freedom at a young age (7th grade) and can learn from her choices. He is really upset with her for not talking with us first and wants to let her know she shouldn't have done that (and that we should weigh in on her choices).

Good thing is we decided to sleep on it and talk it through again before we talk with her. What do you think - should she have consulted us? Should she be able to choose on her own without us weighing in? TIA![/quote]
