[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would people think of the idea of me going separately, staying in a different hotel, and meeting up with DS to do the activities that Grandpa cannot do?  There are some shows and museums that I would like to see on my own, and I have a friend from graduate school and my former SIL who I would like to see.

It's hard to explain.  DS is not a rude kid, really, and we don't fight.  It is just a mostly polite relationship that is sort of distant.  He has ADHD and I spend a lot of time reminding him of things and helping him.  There is not a lot of conflict but also not a lot of fun.[/quote]

Make it two separate trips. He goes with just grandpa this time and they do only the activities that they can safely do together.

Then another time you and he go away for a more active trip where you can build more fun into your relationship.

And you need to work on your day to day relationship with your son. I get it -- one of my kids is autistic and the other has ADHD -- there is nagging but there also has to be fun. But this trip with grandpa is not the time.[/quote]
