yeah, well a few (fairly unpleasant) email exhanges later, he's doing the hockey because he's decided that's what he really wants to do. And now I've made myself extremely unpopular there so i hope to hell we can find somewhere else for the fall. this is a different place from where Thor plays -the place we already left once, but Thor's place doesn't (yet) cater for Hector's age group.
I asked the coach to forward my response to that email to the rest of the board -which he did, so if there's a decent one among them, hopefully it won't happen again. The thing is, in organizations like this (and I have shitloads of experience running organizations like this)
it never hurts to tell people stuff you think they should already know. Sure, they'll think your incompetant an unorganized, but the program will run smoothely because everyone will know what they need to know.
I don't mind dealing with known schedule clashes -we do have a lot of activities, they required juggling and we're pretty goddamn practiced at it, but huge problems like this THAT COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED really piss me off. And the coach had the temerity to imply I ws a tosser for enrolling my kid in two sports on the same day. hello? HELLO? Anyone home? tit. that is all. maybe.
