Ok. I'm a cautious parent.
DD has more than two friends. It is her sixteenth birthday in about two weeks.
Over the past few months i have racked my brains as to how to do something special. They worked really hard and their prom got cancelled.
Together we came up with the idea that we would hire two chalets in a very nice caravan park, not TEN miles away from where we live.
It has lovely reviews, no stag or hen parties, CCTV. Lovely restaurant.
I booked in advance and it is costing me 666.00 for three nights. That is not including breakfast and I have packed up four bags full of food and staples, as teenagers would like to cook.
One of the parents' mothers is overprotective, I feel. She has voiced concerns about the teenagers being 'supervised'. Her daughter is sixteen already. As is one of the other girls.
They are all lovely girls and very responsible.
I have reassured the parent concerned, but to be honest they are verging on being very rude about it. I have paid 222 pounds each for each child, without food.
The place is an amazing place, and as I said ten miles from home.
I feel as if the parents attitude is spoling everything. I have even said pop in for the afternoon etc. would love to see you.
The mother concerned is anxious in other ways, has not been vaccinated, which I was shocked about.
To be honest, I've had another message this evening along the lines of parent needing to check out the venue and i feel like cancelling now altogether.
Any other parent I know would be overjoyed that a mother would be prepared to take three sixteen year olds away. It is such a safe place.
How to I get through tomorow without having major row with the parent, I am so cross and they are so ungrateful. 222 pounds each per young person. Honestly?
The chalets are well nigh opposite each other. It is a very quiet site and
