Would it be a bad idea if my support person was my 13 yr old son?

Hey there !! - it's Kay ! - don't worry I'll be there, and Bobbi and Donna (and Joy) good grief we've got enough to be the Spice Girls !! - I think I gave you my number and email - I know how you feel though, it's not the same as family - but honestly, while we're all over there - we're family !!

Personally, I wouldn't do it. One more thing (person) to have to worry about. Plenty of ppl go alone. Let him be your special helper when u get home! Best wishes.

My son turned 14 this month - I don't think he's mature enough to go thru this with me.

I agree with the other folks that posted - I would do it alone before I brought him into this.

I would worry about "IF" something went wrong. That would stay with him for the rest of his life.

The juice isn't worth the squeeze on this one, in my humble opinion.

Just check your son is old enough for hotel/hospital... He probably would live to step up!! Best wishes to you!!

I agree with most of the opinions I've seen here....

I took my 16 year old daughter with me, but she looks and acts 23. Everyone at the hospital thought she was much older. Having said that, once we got across the border I actually was worried about her. Everything ended up fine.... but if there had been a major complication, she'd have been in a panic and unsure of what to do. I do recommend you take a friend.... even though the chances of anything going wrong are less than 4%. Good luck.... muah!!! :wub:
