Question about gifting event tickets.
NyaChan:
Is the game during time he would normally spend with his father? If not, then how would it cut into his time with him?

I have to be careful how I say it to him. If he can't/won't go, he might also decide that he doesn't want DS to go because it is interfering with their time together. Then he would guilt DS into also not wanting to go.

Oh, so you're trying to schedule something during his visitation? That does change things; it makes it all the more important for you to confer with his father.

Yeah, it is. We would be in the area for the holidays. That's the only time that DS gets to see his father.

Its not "visitation", its just time that they would normally be together. We are only going to be in the area for a week and a half this time. DS doesn't spend the whole time with his dad, but they would lose about a day and a half if DS went without him.
bonyk:
How badly to you want DS to be able to go? Is it worth paying for Dad's ticket? If so, I would call up the dad and tell him that you are giving DS 2 tickets. Would he like to be his chaperone or should you find someone else?
I think it would be better received if the ticket is free.
