My 14 yo son was cast in an educational tv pilot summer '06. He filmed the opening & was told he'd be called in Oct for more filming. We didn't hear from them, and he figured great opportunity anyway.
In October, my mom invited our son to Europe with her and his cousins. She has paid 1200 dollars down toward the trip and must pay the balance in April.
Yesterday, we got a call and learned our son was selected for the lead role in that tv pilot. Filming will be in Feb and the pilot will be announced on a nat'l talk show. there will be a world premiere of the pilot, complete with limos and a red carpet, and black tie and 'the media.'
Director says premiere might be 3 days before the Europe trip, but she hasn't been on schedule yet. When mom heard the news, she didn't even congratulate my son, just said my son has an obligation to go w/her to Europe, even if more filming started. My son said he'd hate to miss Europe, but would want to chose the show.
What's right to do?

My kids have always been very close to my parents, and spent lots of time with them. Alas, my precious precious father died this spring, and we've spent, since then, 8 weeks with mom at our house, broken up by visits to other relatives and my sister. She is 60.
