day-dreamer16 30/12/08	and his full-time education so that you do not have much time to work and try to get a job these days will be difficult, so if he wants to go not only say that he is obliged to help out a little ' If cooking on holiday to help make it so .. I am 18 and thats what I did last year and this year.
avacadocheese 30/12/08	even if I had children (I'm 16 i do not) then probably pay for them until they were 18 or so and then when they are older people who pay them or chip in a little '. but if - were still at school (ie learning) and then did not have his job does not leave right away because he chose to learn more hope this helps:)
Acelya 29/12/08	depending on how heavy is his home, so I prefer to study and work. once seen as the money, most of the boys leave school. until it is you for using the money, the pay and help him to study.
suniclouds 29/12/08	Since it did not work to help make him the amount. Earlier this year my mom made my brother pay more for himself and his 22 ... but its not been on holiday with us for some years due to universities and the workplace.: P if you want your child to get him a job in a hospital, many are looking for people to work ... his excellent work, not to assign the time, but you pay a reasonable ... You could get a little 'luck elsewhere, but where I was looking for a part-time job since May when I left school and no luck (I have not tried that hard. ..)
SaraShootEmUp 29/12/08	It 'a college student. So it is probably a little 'tight to the money. I would say outside help only after it has finished with school and work.
glittersphere 29/12/08	I do not think is a problem if you are taking a vacation with his family, and you pay for him. I think it is beautiful, until he is grateful and appreciates that I think that certainly must have a job if! I am 15 and work part time and spend most of my free time working with the interior designer in my dad architecture company, not because I need it, but because I like to know not to depend on my parents, because is a good experience, and a lot of time I like! Perhaps you might begin to pay for part of the holiday? As you can pay for air fares and the hotel, etc, but he is required to provide their own spending money, and pay for most of its activities? He does not sound spoiled, but is clueless to 19 is not really a good thing! Take care:)
Emma Louise :) 29/12/08	I asked my mother and she said I had to pay until I moved.
rachel,, 29/12/08	Ya should be to find a part-time and paying for most of his own, but you can still help if you wish and it is difficult to life without help parents sometimes need help. But if you want to be on him for your holiday with a part-time job, it might not be able to pay. It's up to you. Do not let other people tell you how to rase your children. (not what you do):)
fbomonkey 29/12/08	He must have at least a part-time job, but I do not detract from the floor at all, until he graduates. As long as he is in school there is nothing wrong with the support of him.
summergal 29/12/08	Book him if you have the money. I'm in college trying to find a job, but I'm having trouble when I take 17 credits and could only work a few hours a week. My family asked me to go to Disney with them, so they're paying for it, rather than for the hotel for free. Ignore your friends.
Britney H 29/12/08	I think that if you want to be there for vacation, you can pay for this, or is possible. if he does not have the money to pay to go home and feel free to do what you want and pay for it. id want to know my children at home for the holidays, even if I had to pay for their flight here. Holiday arent the same without your children with you.
Female™ 29/12/08	I'd say when they leave home. So if he is at college, then would have to pay for itself. Or should you pay and you. He needs to learn and how the responsibility to pay his own way.
Ulty 29/12/08	I think that should be paying board, or contributing to the weekly / monthly bills, then it would be useful for him to get a part-time. However, I believe that if you want to go away, like a family, you should pay for him to go on vacation, because it is in full-time training. See as a treatment for him, in addition to all of you get to go together ..
♥ ♥ Miranda ♥ ♥ 29/12/08	A child under 18 should be your payment. But if this fails and you can afford to pay for him to come on holiday with you to do what you feel comfortable with. There will come a time that does not want to come on holiday with you in this way most of it.
beentheredonethat 29/12/08	I intend to respond to this differently. He is old enough not to have to go to "family" trips. Because, if you still want him to come along with that "family" of travel, and wants to go, it must be the bill feet. If you do not want to go, which should not be forced a.
Emily Hobhouse 29/12/08	I do not know because he has to do with your friends anythng. If you can afford it, if you wish, if it can not pay - so why should not pay for him? He does not ever want to come with you, but in the meantime, enjoy his company.
Baby on Board 29/12/08	In my opinion, if he was in college, and do not have a job, because he is spending his time studying, and are still paying for food and so on, then it is good for him to come on holiday together without pay for them. Once you reach a point where he had a job, has moved out, etc. This is paid when the holiday break. It 'hard to go to school, work, and pay for things, not impossible, but difficult. A lof of my friends in college had parents who paid for their holidays - at least the main part, as a stay at the hotel and food - everything else was paid for the student.
Bored 29/12/08	Obviously it is your personal choice, and possibly depends on your financial resources. My way is better and works part time, the holidays are still with us. They have offered to help so we said that does not need mom and dad for a night.
confused 29/12/08	hummm this is a tough, let me emphasize that this is the last family holiday you pay ... and that after the holiday they expect him to get a job. He must learn to deal with money at a certain point, learning how banks work, how to budget and save the life skills are important. It will also give him some independence. He can not expect to live is forever. And if he learns well, he will not be saving thousands of pounds / dollars in debt in the future.
MOMMY TO 8 29/12/08	I think we should have a part-time work and will be asked to pay part of the cost. Remember, no college kid can fully support themselves, much less on foot the bill for the holidays. If you want to be part of memory, which is fine. But if you like, ask him to share the cost.
keevelish 29/12/08	If you continue to provide things for him is still a load. Once that is in itself also is not providing an employee. But in my opinion, are a parent forever. I never stop being one, and I certainly do not stop being a mother, when my girls turn 18. I will never tire of giving them gifts.
clueless 29/12/08	Sounds like a spoiled Mummys lazy boy for me
lnknprkbabe84 29/12/08	i wasn't paid as soon as I had a job in 17 years, he worked part-time and went to school
Liz 29/12/08	In general, it is as long as he lives with you or is in college. You are normal. Moreover, it is doing, because you want. Once that change is a different story.
ChocLover 29/12/08	At 18 years is a paying adult and must be on its way to all
laplandfan 29/12/08	I am not a narrow buffer at all, but many of my comrades have said that I am too soft and should not be paying more for my boy to come oldest holidays with us. He college and did not work. Nearly 19. My companions said that should always be a part-time and the fact that the mother does not pay for everything. What do you think? Clueless is not at all spoiled. Sounds like you're jealous. I go ahead and tell him the book. He was never asked to come.
