We're planning a 3 week trip abroad next year. Dd1 will have just turned 19 and will be living at home while studying. She has a part time job earning roughly £200 a month.
We've decided that she should contribute the £600 for her flight and we'll pay food, accommodation and days out expenses.
I mentioned this to a friend with a dd of the same age and she seemed astonished that we would ask for a contribution.
Dd seems to think it's unfair too but says she'll think about it. She's a great girl who does a lot to help us with younger dc.
What does everyone think and how have you dealt with the situation of taking older children on holiday?
