[quote=Anonymous]Just keep up your slow fade and let your DH Z handle it.  In retrospect, this is probably how my parents felt about figure skating when in was growing up.  I loved it but my dad was definitely the primary skating parent because my mom hated having to go and be interrogated by the other moms in a weird competitive way about what I was working on and I think the club drama really stressed her out.  My dad and I were largely oblivious to the drama and the moms assumed he knew nothing (which was actually not true — he was the one who got all the minutia of my training) so they talked to him about normal things and I just focused on the things I liked and largely ignored the passive aggressive efforts of the other girls to make me feel terrible/develop an eating disorder.  I think the biggest problem is that you originally set the expectation you were going to be highly involved and manage the drama and have since realized you just can’t handle it (which is valid!  I would never want to be stuck in that situation!).  I think just slowly decreasing how much you’re helping with this sport vs DH is the way to go, politely turning off questions until their expectations reset.[/quote]
