We are new to the AP thing (so please go easy!) and don't yet know what is expected or considered fair. We've just had a lovely 18yo arrive - all well and good so far and I have tried hard to make it clear she's part of the family. But now we have a quandry:
For our DCs birthdays my parents want to buy them a legoland trip. They have found a package where you get 2 days with an overnight stay in a themed family room. They hadn't thought about AP though and I have just raised it. It seems our options are:
- All 5 of of us squeeze into the family room - everyone would have a bed though I feel a bit weird staying in the same room as an 18 year old we've just met. Also we'd have to sneak her in as you are only allowed to book this for 2 adults and 3 children, and we'd also have to pay for a separate 2 day adult park entry.
- pay for her to have her own room in the same hotel. It would also be a family room so a few hundred £. I don't feel comfortable asking my parents to shell out for this and we also don't really have enough cash for this ourselves at the moment.
- put her in a different, cheaper hotel nearby.
- tell her we are going away without her and she has 2 days off. Seems mean though!
