Do your 18+ kids with PT jobs contribute to hol?

Son works full time and always pays his contribution to a holiday. He insists as he is very particular about paying for everything himself. He isn’t aware but we put any contributions in to a saving for account for him. He has always treated his sister quite a bit too.

Daughter just has a part time job at McDonalds. She isn’t quite as particular about paying for things herself 😂 and that’s fine.

No, wouldn't expect it at all. I am taking my 21 year old and 16 year old away for a few days after their exams finish and have paid for everything. I will also pay for all meals and drinks while we are away.

Yep always had to pay to go from 18.

My eldest son is working as an apprentice , we went away at Easter and we paid for everything . We upgraded mine, hubbys and youngest son universal pass to annual passes as we had a holiday booked for feb and eldest son didn’t want to come. Well guess what happened two weeks after returning? Yep he asked to come. I added him onto the holiday which we will pay but I have told him he will have to pay for his universal ticket again as I asked him 3 times in the queue waiting to upgrade if he was sure! He was adamant he wasn’t going back he wanted to have holidays with his friends.

No from me, my ds22 is in full time work and we have paid for the holiday this year, he will pay for a meal when we are there one evening and little things like that but I am a softie lol and quite forward so will say outright buy us an ice cream then or you can treat us to maccie brekkie today, not that he's tight or anything. 😊

My 19 year old works part time at McDonalds while he is at university so if he offered (unlikely!) we wouldn't accept as he isn't at a stage of life yet where he can afford it.

No holidays on us, but mine would bring some money for their spending money for outlets, souvenirs, apple store etc

I never asked my 2 to contribute when they had part time jobs, even when they were both working full time, but one was saving for a car the other a mortgage - we paid the whole holiday. We could afford it though and as they are both careful with their money we were happy to pay.

I would have been expected to go half on the holiday when I was 18.

With that being said, I only went on one abroad holiday with my mum before I was 18 anyway.

I think it depends on a number of circumstances lile do they usually contribute for meals out when at home, parents financial situation and initial expectations set etc.

Dont be disappointed if they don’t offer - it depends on your notmal habits at home - plus a young adult’s brain is often very focussed on itself - not others :-)
