To not ask the kids to come on holiday with us

2 replies

Now our kids are 20 and 23 should we still arrange the family holiday and ask them? I really want to start doing stuff just dh and I now, we did one holiday last year just us and loved it. We have had years of amazing family holidays but i feel so guilty booking stuff for just us? Neither kids are in relationships.
Also my daughter and I wanted 2 nights away together on a girly trip, but feel guilty not asking my son, not sure if he will get jealous or think I am giving her preferential treatment.
Any parents of adult kids out there who can advise or let me know what you do!

I think you could ask them to come but expect them to pay for their share / ticket etc - amazingly they might decide not to go then! 🙈🤣 - our dd is 21 and we have always included her in our family holidays but I suspect she won’t want to come for much longer. I think it depends on the family really. We still have Ds aged 11 so still do a lot of family things so dd wants to tag along.

Mine no longer want to come with me.

Ask them. If they say yes, then consider doing a you holiday one year and a family holiday the next year?

As for girly trips with the daughter, my son doesn't want that time away with me. Again, ask him.
