T Ball practice

I know there will be a WTF post later today but I have something else for that. We go to TX next weekend. We are there for about 38 hours. Considering we will be there for 2 nights, a good part of that is spent sleeping. We have plans to meet up with my friend and her family while we are there since we haven't seen them in months and they want to meet L. The ex tells us last night the G has T-Ball practice from 530-630. What a stupid time. We will have to completely cut our plans short to get him there. He's going to practice on Friday night. He's not really into T-Ball. J told her we already have plans and she said then she'll come get him and take him....um no you won't. On top of it ruining our day, the forecast is calling for a high of 53 and lows in the 40's...I don't really want to be sitting outside with my 4 month old (who is finally not sick after 3 weeks)in that weather for an hour. J said he could take L and I back to hotel room, but that will make a one hour practice waste like 2-3 hours of our day considering the practice is a good 30 minutes from where we stay. We see him once every other month now, he can't skip one practice? If it was a game it'd be different. Or if he even liked it it would be different. I'm beyond annoyed.

Re: T Ball practice

  • I agree, I think he could miss 1 - 1 hour practice.  I understand the time is precious, when you don't get a lot of it.  Can you just skip it and not tell the mom?  Is she going?

  • No way to skip...she can just ask him, plus if it's like last year her friends' kids are on the team, so they'll tell her. Also her boyfriend's kids may be on the team too...in which case yes, they would be there too. On top of cutting into our weekend with him and the cold weather...if we have to stop for L to eat we have to stop for L to eat. I will obviously try to avoid that, but he will be 4 months old...when he wants to eat, he wants to eat.

  • That stinks that he has to go to practice. I think 5:30 is a really dumb time to have a practice for kids that age anyway. Isn't that dinner time for most people?

    This. Won't the kids be hungry? 

    That's so annoying that you can't just skip it. It's one practice! I'm sorry :(

  • That's so annoying. The only reason I can think of them not wanting him to skip practice is because some leagues have a policy where if you miss the practice you can't play in the game. I've never heard of that being on a tball level though. If that's not the reason, I'd tell her that it's your time with him and he's missing it. It's not like you guys live down the road from them.

    It's definitely not the policy with D's league for T-Ball. Last year, we had kids who ONLY showed up to the games.
  • It's ridiculous she won't let him skip & she's cutting in on your time with him. Especially given that he doesn't even like it all that much.

    I'm sorry. :(
  •  @mana8503 deals with crap like this all the time. How annoying...it's Tball, he's probably not being scouted out by colleges yet
  • Thank you all for validating my feelings. I was hoping I wasn't being a biotch saying he can't go. Butttt it doesn't matter because J talked to her today and we're taking him. It sucks because we shouldn't have to. But she wins every time. I wish he'd let me handle her...I wouldn't be such a pushover. I said we should just not go....legally there's nothing she can do about it, but we get along for the most part which is best for Grant. And I hate that then in the middle or our visit we'll have to see her stupid face.

  • Oh and yes you would think kids would be hungry so I guess we'll have a late dinner that night. And she said if it wasn't just starting she wouldn't care if he missed it...then what is the damn difference?! It's TBALL

  • Ugh it's a fine line between standing up for yourself/Kidtime and keeping the peace.  Jeff will keep the peace at whatever costs... and I just want to strangle the woman.  And at Grant's age, this could be setting precedence to all extra-curriculars in the future. 

    Thanksgiving, the kids came over and right away Lilly was like - Oh, btw I'm going to a birthday party tomorrow at 6, don't worry I'll be RIGHT back.  Jeff and I were like WHAT?!  Biomom didn't ask us or anything... just sent Lilly in to tell us.  I REALLY wanted Jeff to put his foot down, and say no you mom should have talked to us about this first... but I get he didn't want to upset Lilly.  But I just see sh!t like that happening from now on.
