Sons girlfriend going to Dubai

184 replies

My sons girlfriend is living with us at the moment. She announced she’s going to Dubai with friends (not with my son) she has to have 2 tests going to Dubai, none to come back to Uk and you don’t have to isolate. I want her to have a test before she comes back to our house and another test 5 days later, as I want my parents to be able to come round for Christmas. She thinks I am being unreasonable as she will have to pay £170 for each test. Am I being unreasonable?

So glad she hasn't come back to your house!

Wow thanks for the update. I know so many families heading to Dubai on Friday after school breaks up (private school) and tbh I was even considering booking a trip. I definitely will NOT be after reading about what is really going on over there and her getting sick. Very scary. Also - yes kick her out and do not let her back!! At least your son is paying rent/saving and also he's your son so it's different. I don't think he has to leave quite yet but she just sounds like a CF.

Good for you op. Serves her right, I hope her trip was worth it.

She's 21 not 17. She needs to pay you some keep. I moved to London at 22 and paid my way - can't understand how she'd think this was ok?

I don't think she needs a test if they're £170, but surely she can isolate with her mum if she wants to go? Or her friend?

She can't freeload and then risk your Christmas.

Did we get an update on this? Hope it all worked out x

I'd love to know too. I imagine she returned with more than enough to pay the £200 ... but smelling a little funky.
