[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do activities with my 4 and 1/2 year old every weekend and don’t give him choices.  No issues.

But I have had drama with my mother-in-law.  Last summer my son and his cousin (who is 1 year older) spent a week with her.  They both attended 1/2 day summer camp in the morning.  This year, she said my nephew told her camp was too young for him (whatever that means) and he did not want to go.

I said no worries, but I want my son to go to camp (reason - some enrichment daily).  I didn’t think it would be a big problem, my son has never said anything about disliking it., and he would still have hours to play with his cousin in the afternoon.  It did not go well because she did not want just 1 of them to go to camp which I don’t understand why.  I also don’t understand why she is letting a 5 year old run the show and dictating the same for my son.[/quote]

If I had to guess, I’d say she didn’t want just one to go because she wanted them to be able to entertain each other rather than having to figure out how to keep nephew busy all morning til your son got back.  [/quote]
