I was planning a special Mum and daughter holiday to China this summer. DD 18 has been taking chinese lessons for years, and I have always wanted to go. I managed to convince DH to let us go ourselves as he is not too keen anyway, but I feel a bit bad about leaving DS 16 behind. At first DS was not bothered at all, but now he has changed his mind and says he would like to come along as well.
I am fine with it, but when I told DD that DS is coming as well, she completely flipped out. She says DS will be complaining and spoiling our holiday etc. DS does have a bad record of being trouble on holidays in the past but that was a beach holiday, which he didn't really like. He ended up sitting in his room a lot. I don't have the heart to forbid him from coming with us on our China tour, but my daughter is angry and disappointed that it is not just the two of us. And I am worried that if they are going to argue the whole time then it will spoil this special holiday.
