Having just returned from the third spoiled holiday in three years I am very close to refusing to take my DD on holiday ever again. Can anyone come up with a miracle solution for next year or shall I just accept that the days of family holidays are over?
The last three years have been Iceland (pronounced incredibly dull, she moaned so much we came home early), holiday in the UK renting a cottage with friends (she went home early on her own having fallen out with their daughter) and the most recent, a Balearic island villa rental (we stayed till the end but she was bored the whole time).
She is 15. She is not sporty and is adamant that she is not willing to do something like PGL I'm conscious that I am a single parent and not the most riveting person to be with as we are very different personalities. My very dull idea of a good time is a swim and the chance to read a new book. Her brothers are pretty self sufficient and happy just to hang out. She wants to be entertained and doing stuff the whole time and tbh I felt very pressurised this holiday.
Would it be terrible of me to send her to her dad next year and just take the boys? They are very similar in personality and he'll probably take her off to New York and buy her lots of stuff. I suspect I would never hear the last of it if i did though.
