[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] They muddle through and do an ok job with their 50%, but the ex-wife still buys clothes and school supplies, schedules camp and dentist appointments, sets up activities and coordinates car pool because she doesn’t want the kids to suffer because of his poor planning. [/quote]

Because she insists on doing it her way, and that’s the only way it can be done. Schedules camp : listen to yourself. Camp isn’t a requirement; if it doesn’t get scheduled life goes on. The mom may feel she looks bad compared to the other moms maybe. [/quote]

Well for working parents of elementary school age children, if they are not signed up for camp and you don’t have a nanny….you don’t have childcare. Is that really news to you? I am far from a tiger mom (my kids do one activity each beyond therapy for the SN one) but yeah some stuff has to happen.[/quote]

1. At my office there is kids summer camp (to age 13) for any employee's child. It takes less than 10 minutes to sign up a child for a week or the summer.
2. It also takes about 10-15 minutes for an organized person to sign up a child for 2 weeks of camp almost anywhere. It isn't like have a demanding job. [/quote]

And your kid knows no one at that camp and while it says up to age 13 they really mean up to age 9. It's mostly indoors with "trips" where they take an hour to get the kids together and go out for 2 hours a day and the rest of the day stare at screens. Pretty much every divorced person I know has a demanding job. But nice try.[/quote]
