If we did not have the spare funds then we wouldn't pay of course but we enjoy spending the time with them and the grandchildren and our extended family and there are always other things they can spend their hard earned money on.

When we die 40% of our capital will go to the tax man, apart from our meagre death allowances, so we give it away now and use it to holiday with family. We are not rich but we are comfortable, we have earned everything we have through hard work and are happy to share it.
Good on you. Don’t let anyone tell you what u can/can’t spend your money on and like u said u don’t take it with you and enjoy life as we don’t know how long we got on this world.

ive done it twice as with us & our daughter with the inlaws.. dont think i would ever do it again... they are great, we get on fine... but not 24/7 for a holiday

100% imo & being honest
I would have done it from a heavily discounted trip to Disneyworld 😂
Best I had at their age was camping in Devon 🙈

The amount of bickering going on between my two on our long awaited holiday, I’m going to say 13 and 16. 😉

My sons girlfriend came with us in May and she paid for her entire holiday , she gave us a decent contribution to food , but we paid for some of hers plus stuff like shopping in Walmart .

Tbh I doubt she would have let us pay she is very independent, if we go out for a meal and despite us wanting to pay she always transfers her share to my bank account .
