[quote=Anonymous]I know this is normal... he is about to turn 14 and has a group of friends. It's summer and he wants to sleep at peoples' houses constantly. For some reason, he's less interested in our house bc it's less walkable, his has a younger sibling etc.

I know I shouldn't take personally. But it feels like he never wants to hang out with his family-- out to dinner, movies etc. we are going on a 10 day trip and I'm worried that he is going to act bored, want to be on his phone (neeed to make sure around that) etc. I understand that this could be typical for a very social kid, but I'm afraid I may lose it andstress us all out if he acts ungrateful and constantly wants to go home when we are spending a lot of money on a major family trip (to a big city and a national park).

I don't want to create expectations at the outset. Has anyone experience this with a teen? I just want to have a fun family vacation and I'm already worried....not good. Thx for helpful suggestions....
