[quote=Anonymous]I am a single parent of a very ornery 16 yr old. He is fickle and if given the opportunity would never leave his game room at home. We do about 2-3 vacations per year, and he does not get excited about them anymore, but enjoys and appreciates them once we are on them.

As a single parent it is hard for me to maintain enthusiasm about my travel possibilities when my fickle teenager says he just wants to stay home all the time and hang out online with his friends. It’s tough but I have been steadfast in telling him he will come with me.

He will be off to college within a year and a half and who knows what travel for us will look like at that time. I didn’t take any fancy trips as a kid but I have the fondest memories of the travels and vacations I had with my parents and family, bc it doesn’t last forever. I want my son to have those memories of me.

I have the rest of my life to take trips solo or with friends or significant others, but only this brief window of time to travel with my child while he’s still in my home and it’s just us. I’m treasuring it.[/quote]
