Perhaps he wanted to spend time with you and your DH, without you having to look after a five year old.

If one of my AC paid for such lovely accommodation for us I certainly would not be volunteering to take a child along.

You son wants to do something nice for YOU not give his sibling a break.

Sibling rivalry. He doesn’t want anything to do with his brother to impact on his plans. He wants your full attention and I think I’d feel the same if I were him.

My son has included us in a couple of nights meeting up with his MIL and FIL in Scotland. They paid for me and my DH for an apartment near theirs which they’ll share with the in laws.

I asked if we could take our 5 year old grandson and their nephew to give my other son a break and he got all upset about my request saying he wanted to do something nice and words to the effect that I had thrown it back in his face. I feel totally embarrassed I asked but still not sure that he hasn’t over reacted. What do you think?
