My DD is almost 11 and we've just got back
from a lovely holiday and she said she had a really great time but would like someone to take next time . We did do activities and play in the pool but sometimes me and DH just wanted to sit quietly with a book for a bit and you could see she got a little bit bored in the pool on her own .
Has anyone had experience taking a friend on holiday and was it an overall positive experience ? The friend we have in mind is really sweet , quiet , zero drama and she won't get the opportunity to go aboard with her family as a child because of certain family dynamics (caring responsibilities) .
The only thing putting me off is potential fall outs ..as this can be a tricky age for girls . Also my best friend recently took her DDs friend on a short UK break and the normally nice girl turned into a nightmare on the holiday and was demanding , sulky and rude . So this has set me back too .
There's also the issue of it causing issues between other friends and wondering why this girl was 'picked' and not others .
