Thanks Anne - I never thought of the train, and she uses trains all the time to go into town!!! so that might be a good idea!!!!

Thanks Debbie - I wish I could offer you some advice but cant other than Dont worry, Im sure he is interested in girls, he probably isnt showing it - most kids are embarrassed and try to hide it, and if hes not interested, i still wouldnt worry its not everything and at least you know where he is!! all kids are diffrent they all like different things!! he has his head screwed on and seems to know what he wants already!! nowt wrong with wanting to be a country guy - hell i wish i was!!!

at least hes not on street corners with mates being led into stuff he cant handle like most of them!!!

sorry, I've not been on for a while due to probs with this computer.

Thanks folks for all the input! We did get away. It was a lovely weekend and the weather was fine. The wife & I enjoyed it although not without experiencing the teenage stropps. She moaned about most things (daughter, that is) and threw the odd tantrum but was no worse than at home!

She met a few pals and wandered about in the evening with them. At the end of the break she said it was FUN  and she ENJOYED it!!!!!

Who can understand the mind of a teenager?????

I have a 17 year old son who used to come caravaning and really enjoyed it when he was younger but wants to spend time with his mates now. I was a bit disappointed at first but to be honest he is happy at home, my husband and I and the dog are happy in the caravan, and we appreciate each other all the more after a couple of days apart.

He comes for the 'main' holiday in summer though and brings a tent and a mate and we're all happy!

Good luck with whatever you decide to do. Bringing up teenagers is tricky!

you have got through that 14 - 17 stage brilliant and well done hehehe

Im considering asking if she would like to bring a mate and a tent to see if it makes it better for her!!!

its not nice when they start to drift away, although you want them to have a life and be independant its still a milestone that takes some geting used to!!!!

> asking if she would like to bring a mate and a tent to see if it makes it better for her <

Usually that is a big difference. The tent gives them their own private place, even if near the van. A friend gives them someone to talk to, also in the evenings and walk around to meet others of similar age, and if not there, still have fun. Moreover it gives you the possibility to sit down in the evening and have your wine/beer quietly or with people you met. Plus during the day, at least a number of days, they can do something else, not being alone, and you can do your things, while not leaving someone alone.

I must admit I enjoyed bringing a friend of my daughter some time. And the leaving them behind was not too bad either, as that particular friend liked to come with us and walk in the mountains, so both of them had great fun when walking, (and of course when at the swimming pool at the campsite meeting others). Her parents were rather poor and she never had the chance to go abroad on holiday, so mountains were completely new for her.
Last week we went to a campsite near the beach for them: something for everybody mountains for us, beach for them.
