[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never leave a 15 year old and 12 year girls alone in a hotel in this day and age. I agree with your DW -- this is crazy.

Also, I would be really concerned with the family dynamic of spending a vacation away from one sibling as a "treat" for the other siblings. Sort of cruel and not the attitude I would want to foster in the two older kids, especially since this is a vacation to DisneyWorld of all places. It would be different if it were a destination too mature for him but appropriate for his older sibs.

My two cents.[/quote]

A 15 and 12 can amuse themselves at a resort, if the 15 is a responsible 15.  That said, this is a business trip and you really can't do both work and parent.  Not fair.

Second paragraph is dead on.  Pick a destination that isn't custom made for your son.

Maybe your wife has anxiety issues, but being unwilling to leave an ADHD with a frail grandparent is reasonable.  My mom is with my niece and nephews this weekend -- along with the nanny.  That's how to do it.[/quote]
