Who do you go on holiday with?

[Achooblessyou]

I took 2 dss camping this summer on my own. It was hard but good fun. I've booked to go on hols next year on my own with them.

I don't have family to go with - my parents are too ill.

People often ask have I no friends to go with but even though I have lp friends we all have difficulty with childcare over school hols etc and money worries and we never seem to synchronise.

Also I think friends who are not lps don't normally want a single woman and kids to join them on their hols - does everyone else think this?

I do sometimes get a bit fed up of always being alone with kids, but I also like doing my own thing and not having to compromise. And not having to put up with other people's kids!

So do I!! I'm really nervous but DS is very excited and so he's making me glad I'm doing it!

If you are into skiing, Esprit do single parent hols. If in a chalet, these are good for meeting people and there will be more kids in the group.

sometimes we go with family and other times it just me and my son

I've been away with both my parents, by ourselves, with a friend and her daughter and with my Mum in that order. Next year I'm not sure what we will do but the following year we're going on a family holiday with my parents and by brother and his girlfriend. I'm more nervous about the last than when I took DD abroad on my own just before she was 2

I just take the holidays as they come. Try not to make plans in advance for while we are away and we just decide on the day.
