Blended Family Issues

I have a son who is a really good snowboarder and I want to go away with him for 3-4 days over the spring break. My step kids ski a bit but not to a point where I can let them ski on their own. I kno wit might be selfish, but I want to have this time for my son and I. How do I deal with this issue without pissing the other kids and my wife off.

Everyones ages would have helped as well as who was living with who full time. I.e. is your kid a visitation while hers are full time? If you don't get any helpful answers here start a new Thread with more info so we get the whole picture.

I have 14 year old twins. Boy and a girl. I have my kids 50/50 with my ex and ver amicable in helping each other out in terms of child responsibility. I know my daughter would not want to go skiing and she would hang with her mother. My step kids are with us 90% of the time so I get very little alone time with my kids. I hope some of this information is helpful

I see NO reason why you shouldn't just plan the ski trip for your son and you.

I have 2 kids and do things with them individually ALL the time and yes, even when skids are here.

DH hems and haws over doing things alone with his bios but really none of us (me or my bio kids) really care.

Sometimes in stepfamily situations these things get blown way out of proportion, imo. It is normal for parents to have individual interests with their kids. Enjoy!
