When two ex-spouses are co-parenting, it can be difficult to decide on activities that the child will be involved in. For example, a mother who is very involved in musical theatre may want her children to take voice lessons and dance. Her dream may be to see the children on the stage, or to watch her son perform the lead in a school play. A former band member parent may hope that his or her child will pick up the guitar, drums, or bass and become a protégé at the instrument of his or her choice.
In contrast, an athletic parent may have dreams of watching the children score a goal in soccer, a basket in basketball, or a field goal in football. Spouses commonly have different desires for their children. Unfortunately, when co-parenting spouses feud about these hobbies, it can be difficult to work things out. When the children are too young to choose hobbies for themselves, they will normally attend any class or practice that they are signed for. These activities should be selected carefully.
