Well firstly I will be open and say dd does have mild learning difficulties (Dyspraxia and processing issues) and does struggle a bit socially.
DD is due to go to France with school. Not long after she booked the attacks in Paris happened and lots of classmates seemed to drop out.
DD was given chance 1 at this point to drop out (due to her friends dropping out rather than the attack)
DD decided to still go. Then another person she knows well dropped out and she had a bit of a crisis over it. She was then given chance 2 to drop out but still wanted to go.
DD was worrying about the trip and sleeping with someone she did not know, they go round the theme park in groups and she knows no one. We went to see the French teacher who had a chat and dd was given chance 3 to drop out.
The deadline has now passed. Collective passport ordered. Full amount paid etc. Now dd is absoloutely refusing to go on the trip and will not go to the meeting in school time about it as she might not be able to get back in to the sen room at lunch time.
I am rather pissed off as we are low working income and I struggled to pay this for her as she was so desperate to go.
So now I lose £260 in money plus another £50 that I will have to pay my parents back as they stumped up the deposit.
AIBU to remove her pocket money from my parents and not buy her anything but essentials until it is paid back?
