Twig: Agreed on the winter holidays and nuclear family! Regarding modeling, I think a few things: If you can make some money and you don't have to spend a lot or give up too much of your life to do it, why not? You're parents who can figure out how to talk to him about this kind of thing if it works out. Regarding consent: at this point in his life he can't consent to anything, you make all decisions for him. As he gets older this will slowly transition of course, but I don't see this would be any different from all the other decisions you currently make without his consent. I think this doesn't have to be a big deal...if it works out go for it, if it doesn't or you don't like the idea, don't. But I don't think you should agonize over it too much.
