We just saw on SD12's facebook that she was signed up for dance yesterday. SO is pretty ticked off because he was not consulted in this. First off, he will be in his last semester of classes this fall and BM didn't even ask what his schedule was like to see if he can take SD to classes on his week! Second, she didn't even mention it to him and if she asks for money to help pay for something she decided to do, well, she can forget it! I just hope SO will stand up to her on that and emphasize she didn't even discuss it with him. SO has NO MONEY to help ... he's out of loan money from the government and we will be majorly scraping by on just my income while he finishes this last semester! So we just don't have it! Thirdly, I don't want to sound mean, but the child is very uncoordinated. She was in poms three years ago and just looked awkward out there. I think she needs to have some voice lessons. She had a solo in the musical both SDs were just in and she sounded great. If it were me, I'd be encouraging her to do that because it's something she's good at. She has some esteem issues as it is, so why not make her feel good and get her lessons for something she can succeed in and utilize possibly in the future as she enters high school?

I don't have a good feeling about when SO ends up talking to BM as he always just caves in to her to "keep the peace," and I just want him to stand up and point out there was no discussion of this and he is not going to be involved in it. I wish I had the extra money to find her a voice coach and just pay for lessons so we can say, "Well we signed her up for voice so here's her schedule for that. Hope it doesn't interfere with dance."
