I got a text yesterday from son's friend's mother saying they were planning a holiday over Easter and would DS like to go with them??
Backstory:
So DS and his friend both age 14, know each other from first day of primary so 10 yrs. Have become good friends more so in the last 3-4 years. He doesn't know where his friend lives. Friend often comes to my house to hang out, he is dropped and collected by his dad. I have often offered to drop him home or collect him for days out or parties and always get told no it's ok. He lives a 10 minute walk, 5 minutes on bike away.
DS has never been invited to his house. When friend has been here his parents often offer to bring DS to cinema/bowling which is nice of them.
Friends house is on route to the school they both attend. Last yr Friend would never accept a lift home even in the heavy rain, this year he has accepted a couple of times but has told me to drop him at the entrance of his estate then for the next 2 weeks his dad will collect him from school.
DS asked friend during the summer where did he live so he could just knock into him instead of trying to arrange where to meet and he said you know where I live!!!
DS asked a couple of other kids who friend would have probably been more friendly with in primary but they have never been to his house either.
Is it weird they don't want us to know where they live but want to take DS on holiday's with them?????
I'd know the dad better as in primary he did all the parties, drop and collect for school. Met the mother a handful of times she seems nice enough.
DS will not be going away with them.
