[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few of my friends (all female, around 40 yo) discussed a girl trip to Montreal at lunch today. We previously went on a few road trips together and had fun. This would be a longer trip. One friend said she wanted to bring her 8 year old daughter along.

I would not want to go on that trip. In my mind, we are all moms, and this would be the time to not be in moms roles, to have adult conversations and to not be slowed down by kids. Even with the best behaving child, the dynamics would be off. I think others shared my concern.

What would be a good way to gently suggest to the friend who wants to bring the daughter to come alone (or stay with the daughter). Her husband could stay with the daughter over the long weekend. [/quote]

Don’t even be gentle about it.  You’re taking time off and away from your family for a friends trip.  You don’t want to hang out with someone else’s picky eater and have to filter what you say and do on your vacation.  Tell your friend to leave her daughter home or don’t come.  [/quote]
