What do you if you have one teen on holiday?
Our ds is just turned 13. Last year we had 2 weeks in the West country in a beautiful thatched cottage, went for lots of long walks, looked round posh gardens, castles etc. That's what dh and I like to do.
Unfortunately, our ds was clearly bored out of his tree but too polite to tell us so. We did do stuff with him, there was a private pool, a snooker table, table tennis etc but there weren't any other properties around so just the three of us.
We don't do resort holidays, basically because we're unsocial buggers on holidays and can't be arsed to make small talk with people we'll never see again.
So my idea for next year is to drop him off at PGL for the first week of the holiday, so at least for that week he can do motorsports, abseling etc etc. He's done PGL holidays when younger and did enjoy them. We could take a friend with him for the PGL bit but don't want anyone else with us for the second week (like I say we're unsociable gits).
I'm interested to hear of any other solutions anyone else has found, and whether you reckon this will work.
