We always take our DC on holiday every year to somewhere in the UK. However, they are becoming more aware that their friends go abroad on planes, and they want to do that too. I'm starting to feel guilty, as I know that when I was a child, we never went abroad and I always felt that I was missing out.
I don't particularly like going abroad (the heat, but also because I'm quite a boring homebody) but I am willing to take them. We have savings, but when I look into it, I find holidays for upwards of £3000 and I find it hard to justify how long it took to save with one week in the sun!
I think I should do it to give the DC the experience and memories, so I need a different mindset about justifying the cost! A lot of people spend this every year on a holiday, after all, don't they? Please give me your opinions - I sort of need to be persuaded that it's worth it!
