..to not want DD to go on holiday to the channel islands with her grandparents?

[newfashionedmum]

..she's 8 and sometimes much younger than her years but is close to her granny - although they live in a different city. She does stay with them at their house regularly but this feels a step too far and I worry she'll feel too far away as it will involve a plane or ferry trip. She doesn't sleep well away from home at the best of times and likes the familiarity of her own things around her. I know a bit of this is my anxiety about her being away from me but AIBU?

echoes everyone else's words, she will have a great time and a learning curve for both of you. surprised no one told you, while she is away you need to find a box, shoe box would be good, to start with. You are about to receive your first piece of carefully chosen "tourist tat" AKA "mummy will LOVE this" present

:D youmeatsix - is t too late to change my mind? ;-)
