Hey

I'm a new threader so pardon if wrong. Looking at 2015 holidays but 16 yr old DD says she wants to bring her bf. Should I welcome this, should I not?
Please help as dh needs to know for booking

Well, there's no way on earth I'd have DDs boyfriend on holiday with us and she's 19! Grin

I guess if he's nice enough and you're sure they'll still be an item, why not?

God they've been going for almost 2 yrs (for all my knowledge) and never really fell out. I'm just worried they might have sex or nude shows etc etc which if you're sharing family rooms is not pleasant
Thanks for the quick response though really appreciate it Smile

I think you have to make sure that you, DH, DD and bf are all happy with the sleeping arrangements!

I would also have concerns that they may no longer be together.

what do his parents say?
who is paying?

what happens if they split before the trip? Who pays then?

Have you other children? I ask because of sleeping arrangements. My DD's (19) bf came on holiday with us. Been together a couple of years. He shared with my DS and she was with me and my husband. Although she ended up in their room but with connecting doors nothing could go on and my son's bed was inbetween the other two.

He paid for some of holiday and we paid a bit. We did that way because she went on holiday with his family and they paid for her food. Since our holiday was all inclusive I felt a bit tight making him pay for food element so knock a bit off what he owed us.
He was very good at keeping my DS entertained as well.

We took then 16YO DD's BF on holiday with us. But we also took DS, then 13YO with us too,so it sort of made a group of teenagers and DH and me rather than the family +BF.

It was ok, but I was glad to not have any extras the following year.

My daughters bf came on holiday with us at that age. They were in a long term relationship. She was happy, he fitted in with the family. We all had a great time. It was easier that they had their own room and bathroom in the apartment.
I'm a realist and easy going. I'm sure there will be some tuts. But it worked wonderfully.

Nude shows ? Confused

Not at that stage yet, but I'd only be happy if this was a lad who already spent noticeable 'family' time around us, so we could all be relaxed.
