[quote=Anonymous]We have 2 kids, both work FT, and I'm the default parent to the max. All things kid-related fall on me, as well as shopping, cooking, laundry, yardwork. My husband does clean up nightly and pay for a weekly cleaner, but he is incredibly helpless with a lot of basic skills. I had enrolled our tween son in a sports camp this week - he's not into sports but this was something he was willing to try. And honestly he needs to find some outlet where he can get some kind of physical activity. Camp was pricey and it entailed an inconvenient dropoff/pickup route. I did it Mon-Wed but had a work event from dawn to dusk today and needed my husband to do the driving. He just got back from a short work trip and I coached him thru the location (he doesn't have a smart phone for navigation) repeatedly.

Midway thru the day my husband calls, telling me that they decided to skip camp and just hang out. Today was the final day of the camp and the last chance my kid will have to try this sport for some time to come. No one bothered to tell my son's best friend, who only enrolled in the camp because they were both going. I am beyond furious about this, and I know it's slightly irrational.

I know my son didn't love the camp, but he was willing to try it and seemed to like it more each day. If he was miserable, I wouldn't have made him go back. I'm mad at my husband because I know he was just being lazy - he was tired from his trip and didn't want to do the inconvenient drive to the camp. I feel like I literally have to do every damn thing or else he will just opt not to do it. This happens with so many things, and I've kind of adjusted to the point where I will do anything I have to do. But ultimately sometimes I just can't, and this is just one episode where my kids are the losers in the process. Am I overreacting?? Any advice?[/quote]
