[quote=Anonymous]This is a hard one. We have two kids in travel sports and their trips are treated like a necessary evil, not vacation. If one kid had three trips and another kid had four, there is no way I'd take the kid on a fourth trip somewhere. I try to do something special local when one kid goes away. I'm all for spending one on one time with a kid or even going out of town - but I would not fly them to LA for fun. When my kids do their travel sports they are usually already missing one day of school so we don't extend the time to do something fun. Try to get past his position to his interest. What is he trying to get out of a trip to LA. Why LA? You may want to explain that fair does not always mean equal. These trips are a requirement of their sport. It's not vacation. Maybe a one on one trip can be tied to graduation or a particular bday?[/quote]
