I don't want to get into bashing him, I would just like some suggestions on how to get him more involved with a better attitude. But as Amy says, the guys on this forum are def. already into this very deep and probably don't understand it his resistance, so I will look elsewhere for suggestions. I am not offended and please don't be offended.
I was just looking for a guys side of it, maybe think of thing OTHER than softball that you weren't gung ho about and ways you figure out how to be for your kids?? Thanks again to all who read.
So my ex wife, re married a few years ago. My DD has been playing softball since 5 yoa. She was horrible when she started. I had the kid who was doing ballet in the outfield during games. We stuck with it and DD improved every year. My ex's new hubby is way into baseball. He coaches his nephew's teams every year. Now that my DD has gotten to where she is considered a very good player, you would think her new Step Dad would at least take a little interest in his step DD's hobby. He doesn't even bother to go watch her play. For some reason, he would rather watch his nephew's practice or play than a softball game his own step DD is playing in. I have NEVER said a word to anyone about it, and as a matter of fact think he is a really nice guy. He just cannot enjoy softball at any level. Now he does go to the occasional game that is local, if there is no conflict with his schedule. He will cheer her on or tell her she did a good job. It has just become obvious that he just does not like softball. He is very baseball smart. I told DD she should have him help her with her swing years ago. She just said he is too busy. Point of all this, maybe your husband is one of those guys. No matter what he sees or experiences, he may never enjoy the game. I don't understand it, but have seen it with my own eyes.
