Just that really....
Dd (3.1 pfb) has been attending a local non competitive dance school since January this year. She started off just doing ballet, she has since been allowed to join in the tap class and in September will pick up street dance and possibly Latin American.
She enjoys it, almost always wants to take part, and if she is having a normal toddler/preschooler moment and wants to sit out for a bit, that's absolutely fine. Recently she has been in some exhibitions with the school too, she enjoyed showing off with her little friends. She is a long way off doing any exams, so there really is no pressure on her, it's just some fun for her.
I mentioned how she was doing to stbxh and he kept telling me I'm turning into a 'dance mom' (I assume he means the ones we see on the American tv show), that I'm being pushy with dd, and that its too much for her, that I should be encouraging her to do sports he likes. Also he added that it will spoil her. Stbxh is not absent from dd's life, but he only manages maybe 2-3hrs in one block in a month, so it's a little minimal. He has been to 1 lesson since January and he commented at the time how much she was enjoying it, so I'm at a loss as to where his comments come from.
Aibu to be upset by his comments? I work hard to provide for dd, yes she is my only child, but she isn't spoilt, she is a polite little girl who just enjoys to dance. If at any point she doesn't want to do it that's fine.
Thank you for reading.
