Summer Holiday with friends- one left out?

[hellymyname]

Basically after exams this summer me and some friends are going to Ibiza- but because we are all going to be 16, my mum is taking us and staying nearby. Thing is, i have invited about 8 of my friends though i think a few wont be allowed to go, but I have this one friend who my mum despises and will not allow me to bring her with me... also, she always gets really drunk and i can imagine her causing quite a few problems on the holiday. If i was allowed of course i would invite her though, because otherwise thats just mean, but how am i meant to explain to her that all her friends are going on holiday to celebrate the end of exams without her.. and if there was any other way- for example if someone elses parent could accompany us- then i would do that- but noone else is willing! PLEASE HELP!!!

I don't think Business & Finance is the best section for this.

Indeed I'm not sure where this ought to be

Sorry if I didn't sound sympathetic, hellymyname. Maybe the Family- Relationships section is the place you want, or Body and Soul. It seems to me you have three options- (a) just don't invite her, (b) be honest and say why your mum has said, or (c) tell her to book separately for the same dates and meet up with you there if she wants to come

Or better still, don't go at all.

You will be too young for such a venture (even with your Mum staying "nearby") and your mother should not encourage you to undertake it.

On a more practical note it is unlikely that you will find a holiday company or a carrier prepared to accept a party consisting of a large number of people of your age.

Hmmm (thinks to self - that's exactly what I thought)

If she's going to cause problems why invite her at all? It's not being mean not to - it's being realistic and sensible. And as to explaining it - the truth is best. Try and put it more diplomatically that 'you're a Salad Bowl we don't want you' though.

That extra bag your mother has - it's got nine chastity belts in it.
