Son - aged 15 is supposed to go to his dad for Christmas. We live in Cornwall, dad in Wales. Son travels on the train - I already have the tickets. It's a long journey.
Now there's been a lot of flooding, and trains have been cancelled, and replaced by (limited) road transport in at least two places on the journey - with a third one looking dodgy.
Son would be transferring from (probably overcrowded) trains to buses and back, and it could take him up to ten hours.
He is, to say the least, reluctant to go. If I am honest, if it was me travelling, I would cancel so I feel a tad hypocritical telling him that he really ought to go because his family is expecting him....
What d'you reckon - should I kick him on the train or cancel and let him go whenever it's all settled? His dad is very easy going ; he would be okay with it.
But it would mean Son would not be at the family christmas celebrations.
