Hi guys/gals....wondering if I can get your opinion on how to handle...
Our dentist goes every year on a big volunteer trip to a third world country to do dentistry. Multiple dentists and assistants go. She has asked me to go, and said we should take our eldest son (14) as well for the opportunity/experience. This wouldn't be until 2014 but the plans are now. Last year they went to Guatemala.
I mentioned it to his dad, and he said no...he doesn't want his son going to a third world country. Isn't this the same as going on vacation somewhere if he chose to take him to say Mexico, Cuba, Guatemala...I can't see any difference.
1. There is no expense whatsoever to dad (I've told him this already)
2. If it should think it should be reasonable (only 1 week), how do I approach this now so I have no issues when the time comes ? (such as filing a request with courts now ? Not sure if that's possible...how to approach)
Thanks for advice/comments...
