I'm 18, and I know that sounds young but I'm just starting to feel a bit old to keep going on holiday with my family. Which is weird, because I know I'm still really young. Most people I know either go on holiday with their friends to those cheap places in Spain, or if they are more of the 'middle-class' they'll go interrailing >.> Personally. I dont have much friends, so I dont have much of a choice >.> But these days my parents (I know this sounds reaaally ungrateful!!) keep picking really boring places to go on holiday, and I dont know if I should stop going with them. But I'm too scared to go to a place on holiday where I really want to go by myself. Right, so this has gone onto a bit of ramble hasnt it? >.> So I was just wondering when you stopped going on holiday with your parents. Or if you just think a holiday is free then you may as well take it? Or just your general view on the matter

When you leave home, you can do what you like.
I think those is the rules.
im mid 20s and went last year, we go every year as a family, all 12+ of us hit benni and have done for the past 20 years? i dont live with them anymore but its nice if you can afford it to go with your family if you get on.
i will be going this year too but my bloke will be accompanying me
Don't you fancy a family holiday at Butlin's then?
If it's like 16 years difference then at 18 it's probably ok.
But if there's 30-40 years difference i'd be pushing them out the door and getting the party started :P
Agreed !
I have three very grown-up Sons and I wouldnt have trusted any of the lil $hit$ ( under 25 ) alone at home whilst I was away
But by then, it's a logistical nightmare lugging those two coffins around the place. Believe me.
Ha Ha Ha
I say you are never too old to spend time with your parents, don't look at it from a financial point of view and just have a good time!! x
Oh dear
Looks like she'll have to go though, because there is no one around to look after her for two weeks. But she really, really doesn't want to go. She thinks she's 'too old!'. :eek:
You joke but after my dad was vremated my brother put his urn in the boot of his car. It stayed there for almost three years forgotten about. After his death my dad travelled more then he did when he was alive and covered most of the country.
Well, it was a bloody good job he was in an urn then! Did you take any pics?
Nope. lol
I'm not even sure what happened to him. I assume he didn't get sold on when my brother sold the car.
It would be nice in a few years, if we can afford it, to book a villa somewhere, and have a big family holiday with the children and their partners, though, but it's not something I'd want to do every year.
Just go with them, if you get on with them.
My mum died 20 years ago, and I can't tell you how much I'd give for the chance to go on holiday with her now.
There are no age rules about stuff like this. Just go .. have fun.
Never. Cherish your parents as that is who you are and will be.
