Would you go on holiday with your adult daughter?

[wanderlustdiaries]

I’m in my 20’s, mum is in her 60’s.

I’ve asked her if she wants to go on a girls trip at the end of the year. 4 nights in a city in Europe (we’ve not chosen yet).

Would you do this? I don’t know if It seems a little odd to do or if it’s totally normal.

I go away with my two 20 something daughters and love it.
(It costs me a fortune🤣🤣🤣🤣)

I have been on a short trip with my daughter and I hope I will continue to do it. I think it's lovely

I would love to do this with my Mum (I'm 30's, she's 60's)

And I would love it even more to do it with my DD when she's older, especially if she asked me! 💜

I go away with my Mum all the time! If your Mum is a good travel companion, go for it!

Of course it’s normal. It’s weird that you are even questioning this.

I’m 54 and go away with both of my grown up daughters.
we have a great time

I have 3 daughters from 19 - 30 and we go away as a 4 each year and I do breaks with them individually. My mum is in her 70s and we go away together as well. We are all very busy day to day so it’s lovely to have time to catch up properly.

I had some fabulous holidays with my mum. USA, far east. I wish she was still here so we could do it again. There’s nothing odd about it whatsoever.

I’ve just got back from a weekend break with my mum and we had a great time.

Why can’t you do both? Going away with your mum for a weekend doesn’t mean that you then have to take her on every trip you take. If you enjoy each others company then go for it, there will be plenty of other opportunities for travel solo.

She is your mum not your enemy so why shouldn't you go on holiday with her?

I prefer going away with my mum over everybody. So much more straightforward. Do it!

I think it’s weird that you’re asking if it’s weird. And that’s coming from someone who was never close to her mum.

i went away with my dad all the time. Now that’s probably weird 😀

Yes, normal and lovely.

I’ve got a husband and kids, and I still go away with just my mum and sister for city breaks in Europe. I love it!

I've gone away with both my adult daughters and we are planning a trip for the three of us soon. My sister does it every year with her daughters - different city every time. it is their xmas present to her.

Not odd at all. I've gone on holiday with my mother a couple of times as an adult. Both times, for various reasons, my boyfriend at each time couldn't go with me, and I wanted a holiday, so took my mother instead.

I was once on a holiday in Kenya with my DH and we got friendly with an elderly woman who was with her grandson!

At a place where I once worked, one of the other women went on holiday with her female boss, around 30 years older, not as a "couple" but as friends, for the same reason that they were both single and both wanted a holiday, so just decided to go together.

People "pair up" in all kinds of ways to go on holiday. I don't think anyone thinks it's odd.

I'm more concerned on why this seems strange to you? It's so completely and totally normal that I'm surprised that you aren't aware of that. Has someone got in your head?

This! I could probably manage a day trip with my mum but anything more than that and I’d want to throttle her 😂
But I really hope when my DDs are adults they would want to go away with me!

Yes! My DD and I are planning a trip when she graduates uni. I would have loved to do things like this with my mum but travelling wasn’t really her thing unfortunately.

I did it plenty of times with my Mom in my 20s and 30s. We would still be doing it if ill health had not got in the way. Totally normal. She got to go to places that my Dad had no interest in visiting.

My mum never liked going away but if she had I would have happily went on holiday with her. We spend a lot of time together.

Dd (24) and I enjoy a wee trip together and often go to shows and concerts together. We had a lovely few days in Liverpool a couple of years ago to see Taylor Swift.

I go away with my adult DS. And until recently by 85 year old mum. Not sure what is weird about it at all?

It’s very normal.

What on earth would be odd about it?
