I am walking solo SJPdP Sept. 2018.
My 21 year old son has expressed interest ( as long as I pay of course) in walking with me.
I'm just concerned that his being along will change my Camino. Ive been dreaming about it for 30 years. Someone on a thread about bringing teenagers said all is good until parents start to parent. Id just like advice about how it worked for any one else. I don't really want to be" mom" all the time and he's certainly old enough to do his own Camino. I just envision a teenage style meltdown or scraps along the way. People post about walking with their kids and how great it is but this son and I can really press each others buttons. Funny his much younger brother is the one I would like to yank out of school and come but he has no interest whatsoever. Like to hear from those who had not so cozy touchy feely family camino experiences before I decide to extend the invitation.
