Need holiday advice

Evann637 · 07/10/2024 16:29

I last went abroad 6 years ago. I’ve tried convincing my mum to just book a holiday abroad but she just won’t. Money isn’t a problem, she books 3 different holidays to caravan holidays and Butlins which all 3 added up would cost more than going abroad which I don’t understand. I’m fed up of going to the same place in the same old country repeatedly and just want to travel and see new things, how do I get her to change her mind and book for a place abroad?

is your mum the only person who will go on holiday with you?!

Money isn’t a problem

What does she say when asked?

Why couldn’t you to go abroad? How it depends on your mum’s holiday?

Daft question maybe but why can't you book your own holiday and go by yourself?? It's something most adults would do.

Book it yourself? You don’t need to go on holiday with your mum (unless you are a child)

What is the reason your Mum doesn't want to go abroad? Does she hate flying for example?

I’m 16

Can you be my 16 yo? She’s very reluctant to be taken abroad! 😂

Still, if you get a part time job and save maybe you could go away with friends in a year or two (I mean when you all feel old enough, not that it will necessarily take that long to save).

I realise it must be frustrating when you want to see the world and someone is spending the money that could do that on holidays you feel you’ve grown out of. But it really isn’t long to wait until you’re your own person- you have your whole life to go abroad.
