[quote=Anonymous]Parenting is so hard, especially when we aren't on the same page with our spouse!  You sound like a great mom who is trying to do what's best for your son.  Continue to share your feelings with your husband to help him understand the importance of socialization in your son's development.  At his age, it is equally as important as his academic experience.  A lot of schools are also cutting down the amount of recess time which limits socializing during school.

If your son is fine either way, it may because he senses his dad's lack of enthusiasm for the activity.  Our kids feed off of our emotions.  I would sign him up and encourage your husband to give it a try.  Let him know you'll help as much as you can, but really would like his help on the weeks your work conflicts.

Could your husband have a difficult time socializing as well.  Rather than thinking of him as lazy, maybe let him know you realize it may be difficult for him but that you appreciate him and let him know how much it means to you and your DS.  Boys at this age have lots of energy.  It may seem unorganized, but the leaders might also realize it helps the boys focus later if they have a chance to burn off some of the energy first.

Hope things go well and you find a compromise everyone can live with!  [/quote]
