My eldest (19) is the other extreme and did a ski instructors course in his gap year. He is always up for tagging along for a cheap ski holiday (we can't get rid of him, he certainly doesn't mind going with us oldies if we are paying!)



Yep, sounds familiar. I've got a nearly 22 year old son who is in that mode.

Snapzz, chill, don't rush her. I do think the idea of taking a mate along might be useful.

Maybe there is some mileage in taking one of her mates with you, or booking with a like minded family who she is friends with? It COULD be a parent/child thing going on here - don't like being told, don't want to do because you do, etc. Maybe.


Tony - it's one thing putting pencils up my nose and pants on my head, but claiming my ideas for your own is just too much :evil:

That was MY idea (page 2).

Sorry Snapzzz :oops:

Gotta agree with Ally here, she was the first to suggest a companion.

Yeah, the day she brings home 'Mr Right" will the day she gets locked up.
