zestfiveTeh boy is not going. He's decided that he doesn't want to feel like a third wheel. This is a little frusturating to us because we went out of way to accomodate him. I think he really wanted someone his age to have along and we told him he could take a friend but he never pursued that either. (he told me he was afraid that he wouldn't get along with whoever he invited after two weeks).
He's going to stay with his Dad for a week and then he's going to have to figure out where he's going to go for the next week.
On one hand, it's very frusturating for me to try and figure out all that stuff and I told him that once he makes this decision, there's no changing his mind. I'm surprised that he doesn't want to go.
On the other hand.....
P and I are going on a two week trip alone. We won't have to accomodate the boy and now we can do all adult things and not have to consider the boy. We can drive long stretches at a time (the boy didn't like long driving). We don't have to worry so much about scheduled meals (the boy did) and etc.
P's now talking that we should check out the Boston area too! Where would you go towards the eastern side of the states if you could? What would you see?
My biggest frusturation would be on the last minute the boy would have to come and all our plans would be shot.

Date: 2007-06-20 03:18 pm (UTC)I think he's old enough to be left overnight by himself on occassion but not for an entire week.
He really hasn't given a reason why he won't take him for the 2nd week until recently. He claims that he's going to be helping his landlord for that week plus working and it would be "too much" to also have his 15 year old son to care for (whatever that means). He has explained things to his son well enough I think....the boy mentioned something about his father saying he's being "selfish" to want to not deal with his son. Nice, isn't it?
