School Trip To Paris

[carron81]

Hi

My boyfriend has 2 children with his previous partner and he's just been on the phone to her. She was saying that his eldests class have had letters home about a trip to Paris next March.

Its going to be �290 plus spending money, clothes etc. We weren't to sure then I said well its not long after Xmas so if he pays half and their mum pays half and it could be her xmas present.

But then I got thinking. His daughter is 10 and it seems really young to be going abroad for her first time with the school. Also, when I was at school they didn't offer abroad holidays till we were in about 3rd or 4th year the furthest we went was the Scottish borders!!!!

I think its quite pricey for a few days abroad. Then also his other daughter is 9 so she'll get this next year

His ex is skint at the moment and if you have read any of my previous posts, we've just had a baby and been left in a lot of debt due to selling our flat and mortgage fines etc. So its bad timing on the money situation

My dad has an apartment in tenerife which we can use and all we'd need to pay is flights and spending money. I would rather go into the overdraft and all of us go on a family holiday and spend time with each other rather than spending all that money on just a few days in paris.

Theres probably a few people in her class in the same situation with money but again you don't want her to be left out

What would you do?
