I normally love the holidays but I'm feeling apprehensive this year. DD14 has struggled for many years with friendships and never gets invited anywhere or has invitations accepted by her "friends" outside of school. She's obviously desperate to be out and about hanging out with mates but it just doesn't happen. Normally in the holidays we do days out, see grandparents and we go away a couple of times with my friend and her kids which we have booked again for this year. My friends DD and mine have been very close for years. Unfortunately it appears a lot has changed recently and friends DD seems to have very little interest in my DD anymore which has been very upsetting for her (and has the potential to be very awkward during our holidays!).
So at this point DD can hang around with me and DD2 (who is also desperate to hang out with friends and is likely to be more successful) which will probably be fairly boring for her. We'll do stuff she likes of course but she'd rather be with friends :(
So just thought I'd start this thread to get ideas from everyone else! What are your plans or will your kids be doing their own thing all summer?
