DS1 Aged 12 Y8 wants to go on a school ski trip in Feb 2015. Besides not being able to afford it without tightening everything, we've said to him that there is plenty of time to go in other years, to get some ski lessons in here first to get some good experience, he will also be a year older and a year wiser, which I think will help. Plus we can save up for it much easier, if it's in 2016! He is acting as if we are the meanest people on the planet and has been quite rude and upsetting with his comments, which shows me he's not mature enough for it yet. I went with school when I was 15 and loved it and I know he will but it's too soon for so many reasons that he can't get despite talking it through a 100 times. He will just have to suck it up and get over it for now won't he? We are not saying 'never' just not now. How can I get him to understand this?
