[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who in their right mind takes a visiting 11 year old boy to the library "to bond"? Unless the kids is a real bookwork, why would you think this was a fun idea?

Take him:

Go Karting
Indoor Rock Climbing
Fishing
Air and Space Museum
County Fair
Dinosaur Park
High Ropes Course like Sandy Spring Adventure Park
Kayaking
Amusement Park
Movies

So the child doesn't benefit from a library visit? How do you think that a love for reading gets cultivated? Plus, OP didn't say where she's at. Maybe they live in some boring city where there isn't much going on?[/quote]

Wrong. We were in almost the exact situation for years. I posted before about DH’s father with his new German wife who didn’t like company. The only difference is she wasn’t young and we didn’t send the kids without us. It was a small town. They took us out for lots of ice cream.  She barely spoke to the kids but they loved the ice cream.  They also took us on a boat ride once and to a local small town to walk around. Go somewhere, anywhere, but the library.
