I'm sure I'm not bu for saying no. I know this is trivial.
He's only 4 and he wants to go on holiday, he keeps asking all the time when we can book one. Of course I'd love to just jump on a plane somewhere nice and sunny, but I'm a single parent so don't have endless supplies of money, my job is a bit iffy right now, and I need to get a few house things sorted before dipping into my money.
As I say he's only 4 and we've so far been on 3 uk mini breaks and 2 holidays abroad. Last year we went on a seaside holiday for my sisters wedding and when he realised we were driving and not going to the airport he had a mini tantrum but soon after he did say it was the best holiday ever.
He just keep asking when we can go on and aeroplane on that holiday like we did before. I've explained that holidays cost lots and lots of money and that I've got to buy x and x, and that after that maybe we can go, but it won't be for a long time until after his birhday at least and maybe even after my birthday. I said that if we can't go we can still go to the beach and have some days out. But then he just goes and gets his money box and says he'll pay, so I explain it's not enough money and not the right type as we need the money that comes off mummys card. So he pulls a grumpy face then asks all over again the next day.
I don't know if he's being spoilt, he is a nice little boy, or if I'm not explaining properly. I actually end up feeling bad that I can't but I didn't go on any holidays at all as a child, not even in the UK so I hardly think he's that hard done by.
Before I get flamed I know this is trivial.
