This may not be about teens, may just be the way DS is. But teen-ness is an aspect.
Last 3x we went on hol with DS (age 10-12) he had huge enthusiasm about the hol when we booked until suddenly a week or so before departure he was dead set against. Then he moaned the whole holiday.
Next big hol I want to book will be when DS is 14.5yo & I expect him to be twice as enthusiastic when booking & twice as grumpy while there. No matter how carefully I try to plan the hol with his input to meet his interests & needs.
So I need to learn how to ignore moaning teen on holiday. I would leave him behind but not feasible and he will insist he wants to go until a week or 2 before, anyway. Any wisdom how to make the experience more bearable for ME?
Factor in 3 other moody DC (& possibly moaning DH).
