To let her decide?

[Birdsgottafly]

My youngest DD is nearly 14. She has moderate LD's (this only matters because she doesn't always have friends that she can see on a weekend).

She lives on her laptop (likes manga and japanese animie), goes horseriding, walks the dog with me (reluctantly) and attends two clubs. I would like her to get out more but when i had lots organised she was very vocal about not being happy (and she wasn't), so we have reached a balance.

I love camping. We go whenever we can. If we cannot horseride because of the weather she doesn't really enjoy it. I have found two sites that have WIFI and will suit everyone's needs, for this summer. She is now saying that it is the whole experience that she doesn't enjoy. She could stay (and has done) with my DM or eldest DD (26) who she loves and they love her (and will cater for her needs). She will probably live with me until her twenties if not always. My middle DD is 16 and i let her decide for herself (she doesn't tend to come with us).

AIBU to let her stay with family or should i force her to come?

Thanks, it has been said by others that i should always force her to come or give up camping.

If it was the case that at 16 she could stay at home with support, in the same way my middle DD wll be able to, then i would go less for two years, its only May to September anyway.

When she was younger she loved it and she learnt alot from the experience. Where we live, although it isn't a 'good' area (quite rough in lots of ways, but very cheap to live there), it has lots to offer her. There is an animal care college that she will attend until she is at least 19. There are clubs offering media and IT courses for young adults with LD's, so i don't want to move to somewhere more rural, although i love the outdoors life. I feel that we have the best of both worlds.

let her choose, personally i'd rather eat my own arm than go in a tent lol
