We don’t trust him at home alone, but we don’t want him to ruin our fun.
We don’t want him to have the power to quash vacation plans, yet spending good money on a kid who is likely to sulk and be grumpy the whole time isn’t appealing either. What do you think we should do?I agree with you that leaving your son home alone is out of the question. Because of his attitude, you should assume that your last fun family vacation happened last summer. Enjoy those memories.
Maybe your porch needs painting. If so, he’s the guy for the job. Cheerfully plan to take the younger kids on day trips to amusement parks or ballgames. Invite your oldest son to come along, and if he does, enjoy his presence.Having had the same situation in the teenage years with my now adult sons, I have a suggestion: Allow him to bring a friend.
Our vacations were always enhanced by the friends our sons brought along . It gave us a chance not only to enjoy ourselves and our kids on vacations, but we had the added bonus of getting to know their friends better.August 2012We waited for our oldest child to graduate from a two-year college program before we went on our “final” family vacation.
Your suggestion about cheerful planning of other family activities was spot on but leave out the “we are boxed into your brattiness” lecture.
