    Should I go on holiday with family or stay with boyfriend?
    I know this my seem like a dumb question and the obvious answer is "go on holiday with family" but I have made plans and arrangements with my boyfriend and promised we would spend the summer together. But I really want to go on holiday and I know I'm going to miss the family fun. But I don't want to let my boyfriend down and break another promise. Help?

    I'm 18 by the way.

    I spoke to my boyfriend and he said, its fine as long as I'm happy but to sleep on it first just in case. So that's what I'm going to do, now the more I think about the more I don't want to let him down.

    The only reason this came up was because I heard my family talking about the holiday plans and it got me down.. and before that I was completely fine with staying with him.

    My parents let us have the house to ourselves, had done a food order for us and they were trying to think of fun ideas for me and the boyfriend to do together. Also my family are arranging a girly holiday with my cousin and auntie later on in the summer for me to go on with them.

    Also my boyfriend won't go with me, he doesn't like travelling, and I understand and respect his opinion.
    Something else he needs to be close to his mum just in case something happens

    So where is your family going on vacation? And who is in your family? Only mom and dad?

    That is a very good question. You know what, life goes by way too fast and you may not think that right now but it does happen in a blink of an eye. Spend time with your family while you can, make memories and enjoy every moment. I would would give anything to spend even one more day with my father who passed two years ago.( I still have memories)

    They are going to France and it is my mum, dad and two sisters. All my family think I should stay at home, to get independence and see if my boyfriend lives up to the things we said we would do together. Also my family have prepared to more little holidays for me to go with them.

    In the end, the decision is yours. Every decision has a consequence or a reward, sometimes it takes a while to decide what it is.
