[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^ To add, I also have a similar activity planned for the nieces/nephews. I know everyone else will love it. I don't know whether to completely and totally ignore him, or tell him he can sit out and stay home while everyone else has fun. I know he wants to spend time with the other kids, but the constant complaining of nothing ever being perfect and good enough to his liking, is getting obnoxious. [/quote]

Say this nicely, and lovingly, and early enough in the weekend that he can ask whatever questions he has about said activity, and you might find he's able to a) say, truthfully, that he'd rather stay home and play on his tablet, or b) mentally prepare himself to enjoy it.

My son can not have any surprises. Surprises ruin everything for him, even if they are happy surprises. He needs to know what's coming. We're working on all kinds of strategies to get better about handling the unknown, but there are adults who have trouble with this. It's a long term project.[/quote]
