As much as I would be irritated (OK, livid) with the other parent, I also have to realize that the days of forcing my kids to get vaccines are over. I can't bodily drag my almost-16 yo and 17 yo to a vaccine clinic like we did when they were toddlers.
That said, the entire conversation went like this. Me: DS1, I'm going to schedule you a vaccine appointment when it opens this week. DS1: OK
My only question now is the logistics... having DS1 wait a couple extra weeks so I can take them at the same time (or, even better, have them drive themselves). May be a moot point by the time we can schedule them.
