[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Accept, ahead of time, what parents are willing to do -- and only sign-up for activities that match. I wouldn't do this. If it *required* parent participation for camping, I wouldn't be signing my kid up for cub scouts. Same w/crazy travel team schedules or some crazy swim schedule.[/quote]
So, the kid should miss out on these activities because he has a deadbeat dad?  I feel sorry for the the kid.

My DH went with DS on all of the scout camps, even though DH hated them.  Part of being a parent is doing stuff you don't like *for your kid*.

Don't have kids if you aren't willing to do stuff you don't like because most of the things you do for them aren't things most parents enjoy.[/quote]

Right? If I parented based on what I wanted to do I’d also be napping and relaxing Saturdays and Sundays. But my DH and I chose to have children. So we take them to soccer games and scouts camping and host play dates. If OP’s DH were overall an active father and just didn’t want to do this one thing then he could get a pass, but it sounds like he doesn’t want to do anything with his kids except pawn them off on cheap gym childcare for a couple hours. What a life for those kids.[/quote]
