Children's dad not wanting to bring them to extra curricular activities

Children's dad does not want to bring children to activities they have been doing for few years and they really love them.
It will be every other week, how this will impact the children? How will impact their performance on these activities missing half of the lessons? They are now very sad knowing they will be missing their activity every other week.

That was an example. The point is that you have them on the days they have clubs and he has them on the days they don't. Unless you've arranged extra curriculars for every evening of the week without consulting him...

They don't have extra activities, just the ones they did before our separation

@Alohapotato if he used to be quite willing to take them to clubs, his change in attitude sounds deliberate to me, as if he’s trying to goad you. All he’s really doing is damaging his relationship with his children ☹️

Parenting isn’t all about what we parents want to do, it’s also about helping our children to fulfill their goals. If they want to play on a team, we take them to practice and stand on the sidelines at matches cheering them on. I’ve spent hours on wet/windy/cold Saturdays cheering on DD and DS!

Ultimately his attitude will backfire as they won’t forget his sudden refusal to take them to their clubs.
