DS is 5.7 now and in a few weeks time we have a planned weekend away. Last night his dad and I were chatting and his dad mentioned another event that DS would enjoy and said 'I'll take him to [event] when it's on.' I said that we were already booked to go on the weekend trip, and DS dad said, why not offer DS the choice?
(To clarify a bit, the weekend away is something that I am doing and would take DS with me, the other event something that he would enjoy too).
I think that as he is looking forward to the weekend event and happy to go, offering him the choice of another event to attend will stress him - DS is a bit of a stresser when given choices, will pick one then change his mind then change his mind again and have hysterics - so would prefer his dad simply not to mention the other event. But am I being a bit selfish and should I let him choose (given that I can still go on the weekend trip myself anyway)?
