To think DS is being REALLY ungrateful?

Thread about a thread but the last one was mine also!

So been trying to decide where to go on Holiday and DS1 (14, will be 15 when we go) wanted to go to LA. For numerous reasons I don't want to go there so me and the other adult have chosen Orlando. We went in 2009 but there is loads there we didn't do.

This time we will be swimming with dolphins, harry potter world, busch gardens etc. DS2 (who will be 13) will love it.

Well, DS1 has gone off in a major mood saying it's a crap holiday and he would rather stay here than go to "crappy Orlando again". I'm "tight" apparently not to mention "boring".

He's still kicking off saying he's not coming.

I said "fine, it will save me £1000 if you don't come".

He replied "no, you will OWE me £1000 if I don't come". Shock

I know the answer but I want back up. INBU am I?

Really? Oh that's fantastic! He will be 5 by the time we would be going so would probably get a lot out of the experience (and actually remember it) :o.

Off to do some deal searching, Sorry for the hijack.

We did our trip independently - just booked flights and DH booked the first homestay ahead, then we kind of back-packed around. What time of year are you planning to go?

get him a tent sleeping bag and drop him off in a field as you and the rest of the familiy fly off you can wave from the plane Grin you owe him nothing he goes or he doesnt ,

Well the realistically the only time we could go would be during the summer because of school time but that's the wet season right?
