Let’s do family holidays while we still can?

[Letlooseonthedanse]

DP isn’t keen for family holidays this year. Travels for work. Wants to spend money on more house stuff, DIY etc

I’m FT work WFH and when the kids are off the burden of looking after or organising them falls to me. It’s can get very samey. They’re better when we’re away. Anyone there’s a lot of banging around getting in my way! They’re too old for most holiday camps.

Kids are 15 and 13 and I just think we realistically only have a few years left of them wanting to go away just the 4 of us. I’m not talking about extravagant spends - we’d be happy with a week in a Eurocamp. We just always have a lovely time away together.

Nothing in the house ‘needs’ fixing/doing. We have a large income so £ not an issue.

YANBU - you’re right, when the eldest is 17/18 they’ll be off doing their own thing.

YABU - Time to get that new washer and curtains instead.!

A mix of stuff, money not an issue. We have family and long haul flight away and every other year spend £10-£15k in travel to visit them… anyway DW has come around and we are going to do a holiday together.

DS is nearly 20 and has decided to come with us this year ... nothing like a freebie to make them want to spend time with their family 🤣

Ha, I’ll bank that one!
