I’m going on holiday tomorrow for a week with my youngest son (14). He enjoys singing and karaoke, at Xmas he and his cousin hog the mic all night. I also love singing, but I’m beyond terrible at it. Truly tone deaf.
I noticed on the activities available for our holiday, karaoke pods are available. I thought this would be perfect for us, but when I asked him he said he really didn’t want to, and didn’t want to sit in there with me singing for an hour lol.
No problem, I figured I just wouldn’t bother. But a few days later he came to me and said book the pod for myself, he would go for a walk around the site for the time I’m in there. He’s a good boy and I trust him, but he’s a very young 14 if that makes sense. He does go out for walks by himself at home etc.
The site is a closed site, security won’t let under 16’s leave without an adult so no worries about him wandering off.
I just feel really guilty at the thought of leaving him for an hour on holiday. So I didn’t book it. But he’s just come and asked me which day I’ve booked the karaoke for, and when I said I hadn’t he asked why not and that he’s looking forward to a walk on his own!
So what would you do? Book the pod, go sing to your hearts content & let the boy wander - he’ll know where I am if he needs me; book the pod and make him join me; or don’t book the pod and find something else to do.
Only given one day on the voting due to the holiday being tomorrow lol!
