 Would you take your child's friend on holiday with you?
What do you do when your child pleads for their friend to come on holiday with you? It might seem like a good way to keep the children occupied, but it can be fraught with challenges. Who should pay for the trip? If it's your child who's been asked on holiday how do you know that the parents' values are the same as yours? Do you need a letter of consent for the host parents, with a list of do's and don'ts and if you are taking teenagers away, do you impose a curfew and ban on alcohol?
