Hi all, I was wondering what to do in this situation. I am taking my daughter to a Haunted House attraction (15 yrs old) and she wants to bring a friend. My concern is if something happens to her friends… Like she slips and falls and breaks something or if she has a heart attack from being scared if I am legally responsible and if her parents can sue. I just hate thinking like this but we do live in a “sue happy world”. I would like to get thoughts on this! Thanks for all your help!

My daughter is going on vacation leaving today from Oklahoma City to Santa Ana, CA with her best friend and her family. The Mom and I are talking about all the things we haven’t discussed when they pick her up in less than 30 minutes. Thanks for posting this as it gives me some additional things to discuss. I had covered most of the basics but you gave me more

I’m not exactly certain what you’re saying, but I’m glad you stopped and enjoyed the post.

Maybe you could change the page title travel with kids – taking your child’s friend on a family vacation to more specific for your webpage you write. I liked the blog post all the same.

I’ve been on both sides, and I think a thank you note from your child would be great. I’m sure they would really appreciate it! Taking a friend along usually benefits the parents as much as the kids, and I’m sure they were glad to have him/her.

I hope that helps!

I have the same question. How do you thank your childs friends parents for. Inviting your child on a trip. This was a day trip. They paid for everything. My funds are extremely limited. Is a thank you card sufficiant? A seperate one from me and my child/teen? Thank you for your help!

Hi, I was just wandering how to thank a family that just took my son on a 10 day vacation to the Keys. The family paid for the whole vacation. They were extremely nice to take him. I am a single mother on a very tight budget but I wanted to make sure that I had thanked the family properly. My son is 13 years old. Thanks for the advice, Jill

Hey Robert, I’d be happy to look into it for you a bit. It sounds to me like it’s more of a personal contract thing, similar to a rental contract. I’m not certain I would take a friend along if I had that kind of reservations. There’s a select few that I would fee comfortable taking. I’ll let you know what I find out about it ASAP.

Thanks for the reply. We want to take a friend of my son on vacation with us and was wondering besides having the friends parents sing a medical form allowing medical treatment if necessary . Is the any form that might be used to relive US of any reasonable liability? We are going white water rafting, caving and zip line (boys 17 years old).
Thank You
Robert
