Ok, so here's where I always get stuck. W is leaving for Disney on Friday. I'm not going. She seems to have accepted that and is making the best of it. I never mention it. I don't want to be an a$$ about it. Should I offer her anything? Help? Money? Good wishes, at least.
Give the kids a "holy handshake" of $20 or $40 each, as "fun money," as you say/hug them goodbye. Tell him "I"ll miss you; get something to eat or a souvenir with this, and take good care of your mother" (or "... and be good for Mommy").
That's what I would do. If I was there when they were leaving, and lifting/packing needed to be done, I'd certainly be a gentleman and help my wife.
