[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think your DS's admissions chances at the elite university of his dreams will be ruined by playing video games a couple hours a day during the summer at age 11.

And isn't it Dad who's saying "no" to Space Camp? [/quote]

Yes, through me. As far as DS knows, I'm driving this decision. [/quote]

Man, tell him its his father. Why are you taking the fall on this?[/quote]

DH doesn't want to have to explain, so he told DS it's because I'm too anxious to let him go anywhere. What am I supposed to do?[/quote]

Well that's an f'ed up dynamic.  What the hell?[/quote]

Agreed, that's not cool.  If this is DH's decision he needs to tell DS- whether he tells the actual reason why or not but it is completely unfair to put it on you.  You guys need therapy for that alone.[/quote]

+1 I don't know why you would agree to this. I would say, "I'm sorry sweetie, if it were up to me I would love for you to be able to go to Space Camp, but your father isn't comfortable with it. If you have any questions, you can talk to him."[/quote]

I mean obviously the ideal healthy dynamic would be that it's presented as a unified front joint parental decision. But if your DH isn't on board with that, idk why you'd play along with pretending it's you.[/quote]

Because he flipped out when I initially told him I wouldn't play along. Sometimes you do things to keep the peace. [/quote]

You have much bigger issues to deal with than sleep away camp if this is how your marital life looks and feels.[/quote]
