Im going away with my mum next week...im 15, how much time is acceptable to not spend with her!?

Answer 1

If you want any pocket money you'd better a) spend lots of time with me and b) give me 'best answer'.
Love mummy

Answer 2

Well to answer your question literally I'd say it would depend on where you were going, how 'safe' the resort was, whether your mobiles work there or not, whether you make a nice friend on holiday that you can hang around with (always safer in twos) that sort of thing.

But I'm also going to say that you have a lovely opportunity to get to know your mum here. She is paying for you to go on holiday with her, which is a lovely thing and she won't be around for ever you know. Why not use this time for a real 'girly' week with your mum? You might get to see a side of her you never knew before - now you are growing up you can start to have a relationship as two women rather than a mum and her little girl. Just a thought.

Answer 3

This might be a good opportunity for you to have a laugh together. You never know what you might enjoy doing together. You might have a few holiday experiences you can talk and laugh about later.
I'd say how much time you spend away from each other may depend on where you're going. If Mum feels you're safe she may be happy for you to be on site but away from her. I remember going on holiday at 15 and taking a friend with me. We stayed on site (caravan park at the time) and stayed together which kept Mum happy. Other days we did things with Mum. I ended up enjoying myself and remember it well - especially the day I came back to find my Mum crying tears of laughter while trying to write a letter home, surrounded by damp screwed up pieces of discarded previous attempts!
Just make the most of it. Your Mum won't always be around so have a laugh while you can!

Answer 4

If there is only you and her,
Be grateful thats shes taking you on Holiday and spend as much time together as you can.
On the other hand your a youngster and will want some independence to make friends and hang with them.
Hang with your buddys during the day and stay with your mam at night.
If your mums single( I dont know she might find a Single guy with a young person similar age to you with them, Then you could all hang out together.

Have a good one.

Answer 5

I'm 15 and it depends how long you are going if it is for a week then i say 4 or 5 days is acceptable in my eyes

Answer 6

Oh bless.......smile sweetly when required, yes mum thank you mum when needed, and im sure you will get a few hours a day to yourself. Have a great time, (and you might just find you do that with your mum, she was young once too you know.)

Answer 7

if your friends are going with you, then just tell your mum that you are dividing you time between them and her..., after all she's paying...right? don't spend too much time away from her, she is taking you for company, unless of course she meets a nice handsome Waiter while she is there, then you wont see her for dust

Answer 8

ouch! sounds harsh. at 15, I'm sure you need your space, but maybe your mom does, too. you may want to try to talk to her about this before you leave- but be gentle about it- if ya'll are going away together, she's probably hoping for some bonding time- so make sure you're up for that if you expect her to be up for you spending time apart as well.

Answer 9

As little as possible. This will be a good chance to get to know each other really well when nobody else is around. A good chance to talk properly and enjoy each others company.

Answer 10

depends who else is going. it wouldn't be cool to leave ger alone too long.

if it is just the two of you try to hook her up with someone nice then "give them some space"
