[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just because a kid isn't talking about something doesn't mean they're not thinking about it. Apologize for the ice cream comment.

Work with him on portion control. Go do things like mini golf, that don't involve taking off clothes. [/quote]

OP here I have (tried) to apologized about that comment. It wasn't mean spirited, I just thought maybe a treat would cheer him up.

We definitely have talked about portion control most of his life. Making sure to know how much is a portion, being willing to box up or toss, if that's not possible) excess food, etc... With all of our kids.

Definitely will plan on other activities, but obviously the other kids want the beach at least once a day. For now me ad DH will just have to split up a bit more.

Also will talk to his twin, DS might confide in him things I wouldn't know. Just seems like a dramatic shift as even four days ago DS was looking forward to the beach and he has spent a good chunk of the summer at the pool with friends, no problems. That's what is most worrying to me, the dramtic shifting of emotions but I guess that is teenage life, so to speak. [/quote]
