Would you take your teenage son on a honeymoon?

[tnorfotkcab]

If you got married again later in life, and had a 15-year-old son. No issues, no additional needs etc

Would you take him on your honeymoon?

He has a father he could stay with, he has his grandparents, his auntie etc who would happily take him and has stayed there before at summer holidays.

No. The only thing I would not do though is go on honeymoon somewhere the child has always wanted to go.

my step dc has always wanted to go to on a particular holiday. It’s family orientated, and expensive.

their mum got remarried and they stayed with us while they went on honeymoon for 3 weeks in the school holidays. Guess where they went, yep, the very same place the dc has always wanted to.

i thought that incredibly unfair.

The couple can do what they like, but it won't be a honeymoon with a teenager along. They may prefer a family holiday instead, to celebrate the beginning of the new order. Nothing odd about it really.

I mean I’m human sure there are things I don’t like; but come on, I don’t think that’s unusual, lots of people have said here it’s not a honeymoon!

I’m just imagining telling my 15 year old son he’s coming on honeymoon with me and his dad 🤣

No.

I think taking him would be perfectly normal as would not taking him. No one else’s business including the OP’s.

A honeymoon is essentially just a holiday. It’s up to each person how they want to arrange their own holiday.

No, unless there was no other option.

Like another poster I'm guessing it is a bucket list destination that his mum feels she shouldn't exclude him from and which he is keen to join. In that case it might be nicer for the happy couple to have a short mini-moon without him first and then a big "celebration holiday" with him later and not call it a honeymoon. That's what I'd do anyway!

No, it's not a honeymoon if you take him, it's a family holiday!

This.

Speaking as someone who ended up with my in laws coming on our honeymoon - it definitely turned it into a holiday that just happened to be right after the wedding.

We had a honeymoon later....

now that's grounds for divorce @Gardenquestion22 !!
