<p>Beach places usually have multiple bedrooms and can cost a couple of thousand a week. If you split the cost up between 10 people it’s a couple of hundred a piece. Our daughter paid for her portion out of her savings, as I’m guessing did most of her friends. That was one of the arguments for going - it wasn’t costing us anything. The kids figured out the food for meals. </p>

Really? It’s called fun. That was just the first of many, many trips my daughter has taken with her friends. It’s part of growing up. </p>
<p>It didn’t really occur to me that some parents pay for it. If there’s a vacation that we’re paying for, I’d prefer to go on it myself! ;)</p>
