[QUOTE="DDD, post: 424872, member: 35"] I agree with Daisy. Encourage your husband to discuss it with his son. You're right he's 12 not 5...12 is a huge year boys. That's when they really have to start choosing which road they want to follow and if they are lucky they have a Dad who has set the pattern. It's not the same as kids from an intact family. He and his siblings have ridden a rollercoaster ride since your marriage too. Chances are (I'm partial to boys from 9 to 12, lol, because they are mature enough to be fun and still haven't turned into teens) he will "thanks for asking Dad but I think you and Jena should go for it and we'll celebrate before or after your trip". It's not "selfish" either way. It's finding what is workable in a loving way. Sharing parenting decisions is tricky. Fingers crossed it's no big deal. A vacation might be a great stress relievor.DDD [/QUOTE]
