[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think not inviting the other kid is inexcusable.  How would that make him feel?  That could damage him for life.  One of the worst parenting moves ever.  Abusive!
Now if he is invited and declines, totally different story.[/quote]

OP again. I recall when this kid was younger a therapist told them not to allow him to manipulate a situation. If he acted up, the family should go on and do as they were. I think I heard her say that the ex has concerns that he might yell at the kid or hit him. She has been able to control him for short bursts. She can tell him to be on his best behavior for a two hour period, but this is a long trip. The girls apparently wanted to travel together since they are close. My friend has a boy and a girl by husband number 1 and a girl and boy by number 2.
I completely understand why second son would not be able to make it on a trip like this. Maybe they could use the "you're too young" excuse, even though he is bigger than his sister. 
I think that my friend should go, and leave the youngest one at home. Her kids will remember this trip forever.[/quote]
