Would you let your DC spend Christmas in another country with their DF if they could have a holiday of a lifetime ? (Note you and DF are not together) holiday would be 4 weeks and would tick something off their bucket list. DC is young teen.

If my dc wanted to go then yes I would.
Who on earth wouldn't? Confused

I wpuld hate to not have him over xmas but i would wave him off with a smile as its all about him not me.

If df is a good person and trustworthy then yes let him go. You have

Bloody phone
You have other xmases to share with him. Let him have a trip of a lifetime why wouldn't you?

ChipsNotDaddy · 30/08/2018 12:59

Yes because his father has every right to take him on holiday

Stompythedinosaur · 30/08/2018 13:11

Of course I would, as long as I believed they would be safe and well looked after. It sounds like an amazing opportunity!

Racecardriver · 30/08/2018 13:13

Do long as it is a safe country then yes.

PurpleFlower1983 · 30/08/2018 13:13

Yes

emmyrose2000 · 30/08/2018 14:49

Yes.

MissusGeneHunt · 30/08/2018 14:53

Yes definitely, barring an important school year. If it's Xmas hols, it should be fine (ie, not straddling spring and summer terms).

troodiedoo · 30/08/2018 14:53

yes, can't think why anyone wouldn't want their child to have an amazing holiday.

assuming father is sensible of course.

To deny them would just be selfish.

Defo the DF posting

yikesanotherbooboo · 30/08/2018 16:05

Assuming you trust DC's father of course this is a good thing, who wouldn't?
If you are previous poster ie mother without trust problems with ex and who admits DC and ex's relationship is good then you should allow DC and please do not let DC be aware of your reluctance.

ThanksHunkyJesus · 30/08/2018 16:07

Yes absolutely.

It's the SM posting. We want to take DSC on holiday at Christmas and their DM is point blank refusing. No risk of non return. Normally very good relationship. Not a dangerous country etc. Just wanted to garner opinion if we are suggesting something unrealistic.
