If by some chance this coach leaves his position at the current school, you can always transfer them back and they will already know everyone!
My kids love this...they have so many friends.

Pokerface- That is what I am going to bring to discussion to my spouse tonight. We tabled the conversation so I could calm down and think it through. And not call him a doody head because I was mad. LOL
Thanks for all the support along the way.
I wish you all well. I'm outta here.
Peace.

LOL I think he was just looking for an easy fix. I have the best results when I don't hang and convict my DH for what I think is a thoughtless solution to a problem. Give him a chance to think it through again.

He says he will stay far away from her and her spouse- but if I could be friendlier , it would help. My response would have been something like this. "I know you'd never want me to put myself in a position where I felt unsafe. That's why I know you will understand when I tell you this fact. Any phony pretense of friendship with her would make me feel intensely unsafe. Your understanding of my need to self-protect is very appreciated."

Gets your point across while putting a few nickels in the "admiration" bank.

PS Your thread title is irrelevant ! Do what is right by the marriage, not "Who's right".

I am going to borrow that and use it when we discuss tonight.
And you are correct. It should be the marriage that gets to be right- not me. Although I do enjoy being right. *winks*
