We recently went to Spain, there were 5 of us altogether, me, my DH, My DD (from previous relationship) and DH's parents.
DD is 13 and she doesn't get on with DH or his parents but we all made the effort for the holiday.
We were staying for 2 weeks, when we got there DH's parents said that they always go for a sleep (siesta?) in an afternoon when they go to Spain and that we should too, me and DH decided to go along with this but DD wasnt happy saying it was wasting holiday time. We told her she was free to go down to the pool or whatever whilst we slept for an hour or so. The first day she sat in the room playing on her mobile phone games and after the first day she said she was so bored sitting on her own in the apartment and asked us to stop the 'afternoon naps', we felt she was just acting up so told her the siesta's would be continuing and she would just have to ammuse herself if she didn't want to sleep. Must admit I felt a little uncomfortable leaving her on her own whilst we were all supposed to be on holiday together but at the same time I wanted everyone to get along and not to be giving in to her whims every 5 minutes.
Anyway the 2 weeks flew by, I thought we'd all had a great time etc, a few days later I spoke to my sister who told me that DD had been disapointed with the holiday as she had been left on her own alot and made to sit in a hotel room for hours on end! Obviously she's made it sound much worse than it was, it was only for an hour a day and it's not as if she was locked in, we told her she could go and do her own thing as long as she didnt leave the hotel grounds.
So was I in the wrong for going along with the siesta's or was she just being a stroppy teen?
