Grandson wants to go on holiday with his boyfriend

Are they going camping by any chance?
They must wear warm onesies at night ( keeps one warm and chaste.)

Is an eleven or twelve year old really that sure?

Haven't we recently had a similar thread or am I imagining it?

The child has been openly gay since age 11 or 12

Defiantly gay? How does that manifest, then? Who is he defying? Does he carry a poster around with him?

That's neither here nor there really, is it?

It's not a phase he's defiantly gay he's been openly gay for a couple of years now But I could tell he was before then

I agree with BlueBell speak to the boyfriend's parents etc.
Plus - with most 14 year olds sexuality isn't permanently fixed. Just starting to develop and could go either way. Whereas 16 - ??

I think that you need to get to know the parents of the boyfriend before entrusting them with a 14 year old. You really shouldn’t let a youngster go away with people you know nothing about. This has nothing to do with sexual orientation just good parenting.

and don't forget under-age sex is illegal in the UK.

Bridlington or Skegness - all the same here - illegal.

Speak to the boyfriends parents to make sure they will be having some parental supervision as he is a minor and if you feel comfortable that he will be cared for and not left to their own devices all the time then that should be fine
It’s hard though as 14 is young and you have to worry about alcohol etc and depending where they are holidaying abroad, some countries and cultures are not open to homosexuality and they could be in trouble if seen to be openly gay

I'm not sure about the weather though
Should be nice at the weekend - are they going away for half-term?

Make sure there's a ShoeZone where they are going and give him some money for new plimsolls.

He's going to be with adults. If you didn't know he was gay then you'd assume he was just going with his mate and his mate's mam and dad. As long as you believe the mam and dad are responsible adults than I don't see a problem.

Well I'm sure all will be ok and everybody will have a lovely time.
Is it a half term hoilday?
Quite cold at the moment so they will need warm clothes
best pack a onsie

Ps why is it up to you to say 'weather' he goes or not?

What specifically would be your issue then?

Yh him and his older sister who is 18 live with me

Hmmmm

Is he in your care Nannyoffour? Is it going to be up to you to decide?

I went on holiday with my boyfriend and his parents at a similar age; as did my DDs with friends of theirs. How well do you know these parents and the boyfriend? Do you have any specific concerns?
