I'll try and be brief.
DS, DSS1 and DTS live with DH and I, DSS2 lives with his mum and comes Fri after school and I drop him off Monday and his mum collects him. (all 3 children go to same school)
DSS1 has lived with us since Novemeber when his mums DP and his DD moved in. DSS1 goes to his mums every other weekend.
So far this has been fine and we are flexible - eg DSS2 will come Fri-Thurs in half term and not that weekend and DSS1 will go home that weekend so both boys with their mum.
DSS1 is due to go to his mums tomorrow but is saying he doesn't want to. We have no specific plans so it's not that he's missing something particular - he just says he doesn't want to go. I know he doesn't like his mums DP's DD, who seems OK to me, so I'm not entirely sure how much truth there is in his description of her!
DH at work atm but I have spoken to him quickly after DSS1 spoke to me and DH says it's his choice.
I think, as a mum, he should go and see her tomorrow at least and come back at the end of the day if he wants - although I really feel he should go as planned.
I really don't want to upset DSS1 and make him feel pushed out of his own home - any advice?

Should we 'force' DSS to go to his mums?
