No definitely not. My friends went when they were 16/17, I wasnt there thank god,because some of the stories they came back and told be were actually frightening. I was so glad I wasn't there.

SerialChangerOfName · 07/01/2019 00:36

Noooooo

AutumnColours9 · 07/01/2019 00:37

No

mumof2andstillsurviving · 07/01/2019 00:38

No definitely not.

No way! Too much responsibility for the 21 y/o taking care of 2 x 15 y/os. Her own sister fair enough, their parents’ call, but I wouldn’t want my teenage daughter going away with someone likely to be going to bars etc.

Does depend a little on the sister I guess - if I knew her and was sure she was sensible and trustworthy, more likely to read books and visit galleries than go clubbing I might be happier about it, but I really can’t see it. Just being responsible for them while travelling could be stressful. I struggle taking my DCs on holiday on my own and I’ve had 7 years practice!

I certainly wouldn’t want my eldest in charge of my two younger kids - it’s too much.

Do no parents just the 21 year old?

Why would she want to even do that? If they had a fight and the youngest walked off what then? Their parents must be mad allowing them to go!!

Depends. A villa in a village away from resorts then yes. A alcohol heavy resort then no.

DramaAlpaca · 07/01/2019 01:00

Over my dead body.

ShovingLeopard · 07/01/2019 01:01

No way. Madness

HeartyLaugh · 07/01/2019 01:05

No way.

halfwitpicker · 07/01/2019 01:07

Well she won't be 15 on holiday, she'll be 21. If you're happy with this, send her.

starsorwater · 07/01/2019 01:17

No, don't be silly.

Youmadorwhat · 07/01/2019 01:19

Not a hope!!

CarolDanvers · 07/01/2019 01:19

NO!

TyneTeas · 07/01/2019 01:26

No

I would have thought this very unreasonable when I was 15 (and 21), but thinking back to the choices i made at those ages YANBU!

ILoveChristmasLights · 07/01/2019 01:32

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

No.

EdtheBear · 07/01/2019 01:33

Big No
Slightly surprised at a 21 yo wanting to holiday with 2 kids, where are her own friends?

cmiddlwton · 07/01/2019 11:18

From my previous post about my daughter going abroad with a 21 year old.

I am very disappointed in you parents for judging a 21year old mother on wanting to take her sister and my daughter on a family holiday.

Not all 21 year olds want to get drunk. She is very responsible and isn't a loner as someone said for wanting to take children. She is bringing a friend to and thought of taking my daughter because her sister would be home alone in the U.K. as her mother has recently passed.
You are all very judgemental and I think there's a massive difference from being protective and being a dick.

So 2 21 yo and 2 15 yo? Are you sure they are not intending to party?

StressedToTheMaxx · 07/01/2019 12:04

So is the 21 year old not taking her own child?
She is only taking her sister and the sisters friend?

cloudtree · 07/01/2019 12:07

Not on your nelly. I'm assuming from your second post that you're actually the daughter..
