DD wants BF to come on family holiday with us

Hi everyone please honest opinions good or bad
My husband and I are going to Dubai end of September & have told my DS22 & DD19 if they are free they can come however they have to pay for their own ticket/accommodation at hotel all well & good & they agreed.
Today DD19 said she wants her bf19 to come as well but as he can’t afford to pay for his ticket/accommodation if we can pay & if not she will pay towards it but not all of it 😳 which I didn’t think was fair at all as it looks like he wants a free holiday out of us.
So now DH & DD are at loggerheads with each other over this. DD is saying she don’t want to miss out on the family holiday & she really wants to come to Dubai & how will having her bf there affect things but husband is saying he wants to go there to relax as the holiday was only intended for us as a family & even if he does pay why should he come on holiday with us when he’s not invited. So who is being unreasonable

If they can't afford to pay for him he can't come. That's the rule...

Plus she needs to know if they DO come not to be all over him, kissing or holding hands in public. You can be arrested especially unmarried for doing this in Dubai

DD is now coming to Dubai however the BF isn’t coming at all now, also BF didn’t come round at all this weekend cos he’s not happy that we aren’t paying for him to come with us so too bad not our issue he will have to get over himself

I’d be keeping a very close eye on that.

if he’s driven that and that is his attitude I’d expect him to start getting on at her nearer the time and pressuring her not to go.

Well at least you have sussed him out now for who he is. A freeloading arse!
Hopefully your DD realises this to eventually
