My mum very kindly offered to take dd 11 to the states to visit family for 3 weeks. I jumped at the chance as I would struggle to afford the flights and would love her to meet my cousins out there, it will also mean she is safe with my mum while I am at work.
Today my aunt in front of dd told me that I was mad to agree and wouldn't I miss her (of course I bloody will,but I want her to have the opportunity to go). She then went on about enjoying them while they are young blah blah. I have booked the last 2 weeks of the holidays off so we can spend lots of time together to, but surely letting her go is the right thing to do if i am happy about it, I just know she is bad mouthing me to all and sundry.
