My husband's girlfriend signed up my daughters for Girlscouts tonight. You have to be mother, father, legal guardian or step parent to sign a girl up. I feel she over steped her boundries. Am I right?

I should have also told you that my girls have been in Girlscouts for years and at the end of every school year I sign them up for the next year. My husband and I are still legally married. Its not that I am jealous or anything. These are my kids, not hers. And these are legal documents. I wouldn't have a problem with it if we were divorced and she was married to him.

Was signing the kids up for Scouts in the best interest of the kids? If so don't make it a bigger issue than it is.
Are you feeling threatened that the g/f is taking on a role similar to yours? If so...that's a seperate issue.
I'm not trying to sound harsh. Your b/f will eventually been more involved in your childrens lives too....and your ex may feel threatened by it as well. These are just some realities that I'm drawing to your attention.
Good luck!!

Is girlfriend living with your husband? If so and he has some visiting rights to daughter, then she can sign up for her. What would you do if your daughter had to got to the hospital and husbands girlfriend was the only one around to sign her in?

Of course. You better talk to your husband about it. But you should also give him a benefit of a doubt. Maybe he does not know she did this. Dont act cold or pissed of but talk to him nicely and tell him that you feel that the girl friend overstepped her bounderies and you feel sad cause she took that priviledge form you. Something that your daughter should remember that her mom did and not the dad's girlfriend. Show no animosity but sadness instead..It will make him guilty:)

Yes she over stepped her boundaries but she probably meant well. Your daughter will enjoy girlscouts and it is nice of her to go out of her way to do that.I am sure your daughter knows you are her mom and that is all that matters.

well she or your husband definitely should have consulted you about it first especially if you are the legal guardian if you are not the legal guardian maybe it's her way of getting your kids out of the way for a little while.

In your absence, maybe she acted as their legal guardian or step parent...but if you are around and she didn't tell you...then yes you are right to feel that way....

yes, only you and your husband have rights over your child... she doesnt have the right to sign consent to anything for your daughters

Don't allow your husband's girlfriend to talk to your daughters. Otherwise you will be in trouble.

She most certainly did the proper thing for her to have done was call you and discuss this with you,did she even discuss this with the childrens Father?
