BM signed SS up for football without discussing it with us.

FH ex-wife signed their son up for football without talking to FH. I'm pissed to every degree...he isn't saying anything to her about it.....not standing up to her about it...just letting it be. I told him that I will not be a part of it...so if his son is in our custody and has a practice or game and FH is at work or on a side job I will NOT BE TAKING HIM! If BM signed him up without discussing it then she can be responsible for taking him to his practices and games.

Manda, I can relate to your situation, my DH's Ex does everything she wants with their kids without consulting her at all. My DH has no say in anything they do or don't do.

For example the Ex took his daughter out of a school and sent her to another one without telling him anything. He only found out after is daughter started telling us about her new school on a visit.

And as for football .... DH played football and wanted his son to play too. But his Ex decided (on her own of course) that their son's 'neck was too long' and so he couldn't play football. She even told the kid this, so now (at 13yrs old) he is totally convinced that his neck is too long and it is dangerous to play football. What baloney!

And, like you, my DH never stands up to her and her controlling ways. Makes me crazy too.

If they want him in football, then let DH and BM take him. If DH asks you, say, I will take responsibility in this family when I get some authority.
