I've been meaning to ask this for a while, but events of this morning finally prompted me to post it. Are there any parents out there that have a spouse or ex-spouse that isn't exactly supportive of your child being involved in allstar cheer? My ex-husband and I separated over a year ago (divorced since August), but our daughter was involved in cheer well before that. Prior to that, he just didn't really participate, didn't go to competitions, just kind of ignored it. Since the separation/divorce, he's made my life miserable with anything having to do with cheer. Even though we have documentation in place saying he has to take her to practice, he fights me on it every time. He fights me on switching weekends for competitions. He complains about the uniforms, hair, and make-up. What prompted this today is that he referred to a photo of our 6-year-old in her uniform as "slutty."
Anyone else deal with this? He has no part in paying for cheer. I actually pay spousal support to him. And, our daughter LOVES cheer. So, I'm trying to figure out ways of making him see this and maybe he'll let up a little.
