[quote=Anonymous]OP--are you objecting to not having a say in what things cost ie, signing up for travel soccer costs more then you feel the family budget can handle or are you objecting to the amount of time commitments that the kids activities are taking? For the money aspect, you absolutely get a say. This is your family. You earn all or part of the money that makes the household function. How it is spent is up to you and your husband jointly. For the time commitment aspect, as another PP pointed out--that is parenting, at least in the DC metro area. Kids have lots of activities on the weekends and they want to see their friends. If you become friends with your kids friends parents, then you also get some hang out time.[/quote]
