My oldest dd is turning 18 on the first bank holiday in May. She is away at boarding school a few hours away from home and has asked to go to a spa hotel for the weekend near school.
However 16 year old dd is doing GCSEs and her exams start very soon after this so doesn't want to go away overnight. So I have booked the hotel for me and dd1 from Sat - Mon and the plan is that dh and dd2 and dd3 will come up for the day on Sunday for a birthday lunch and then drive back again.
Dh isn't keen on driving back on the same day and he would like to see dd1 on the morning of her birthday. Also, dd2 isn't comfortable with staying at home alone overnight.
WWYD? I know dd2 is really stressed about her exams, we've had lots of tears etc so far, but it's dd1's 18th and I want to make it really nice for her and it seems a bit unfair for dh not to see dd on her actual birthday.
