What is the name of your state? GA
Well, it's been lots of fun dealing with bio-mom about the holidays. Here's what's been going on and you can tell me what you think...
Two weeks ago, we told her that we would allow the air travel (previous thread) as long as she flew with him during the holidays because he has never flown before.
Yesterday she called at 4pm and said she would drive for T'giving b/c the airfares are too high. She's going to keep him in a hotel for the week! She then asked if we could shift her Xmas visit a day later and she'll keep him a day later, because of the black out dates for airline deals. When I called her back to say it's okay, she was shocked for like 2 seconds, then asked me if we would be willing to let him stay until Monday the 6th instead of the 3rd, then we won't have to come back with him on the regular Jan visit. When I called her back to say yes, she was shocked again. She then asked that "since he would be flying back on the 6th, could he fly alone since everyone else would be done with their holiday travel by then?"
I haven't called her back yet. My husband's point was getting his son accustomed to flying, get through the holidays, get something in writing then let him fly alone. The holiday crowds were only one part of his reason why he shouldn't fly alone during the holidays. Another thing is, we don't want to set the precedent of allowing him to fly with nothing in writing. Because then, what would be the point of her signing anything if we're already doing it? That has screwed us in the past.
He feels like we've agreed to enough and that she should hold up her end of the deal by flying with him as she offered in the very beginning of this. What do you think?
