[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 15 year old son is going to NYC for a week with my 79 year old father.  My dad invited me to come as well, since I am going through a hard personal time, and also because he is concerned he cannot keep up with DS.  When I told DS, he said, "I don't want to go any more if you are going, this was supposed to be a trip for me and grandpa."  I could see blurting that out for a younger kid, but he seems too old to do that and[b] my feelings are really hurt.[/b][/quote]

I don't get the hurt feelings at all.  Your son was expecting one trip and if you come it will be a different one.  Wouldn't you feel the same if you thought you were going with a good friend and their sister joined?  It is just a different experience!  So, you are allowed your feelings but, I would be happy that your son felt comfortable to express his feelings to you. Would you rather he lied and said he would love if you came and than acted unhappy on the trip?

Tell your dad that your 15 year old will be fine together. Why not do things on your own?  Have you own fun week?[/quote]
