My exH (living close by) came back from walk in park with DS age 4 the other day saying that he had been chatting with someone there and was planning on taking DS to the BMX track for the riding club on Thurs evening from 6-7pm. DS is a fab bike rider, started with a balance bike at the age of 2 and is now riding his pedal bike like a pro so I have no problem with the BMX side of things (though slight PFB mummy wobbles about falling and hurting his wee self; think I just have to get over this!)
My issue is more with the time of day, by 6pm he's usually pretty tired if not over-tired, today after the nice weather and being out and about he was tantrummy and took an hour to settle to sleep. For his and my sake (he'd be coming back for me to put him to bed on my own) I don't want him to be doing this much activity so late in the day.
So, I have just discussed this with exH who very grudgingly agreed with me. I of course feel like the mean horrible mummy who won't let the future gold medallist in BMX racing hone his skills....AIBU? I have said let's wait a year until he's older, not ooh, never ever letting him ride on the BMX track ever but of course am getting sulkiness from exH -- need to let this roll off my back methinks but is hard.
