Ex-Wife wants money for holiday
Discussion
I’ve been to centre parks twice (outside school holidays granted!) but only managed to spend around a grand each time for a mon-fri break. That’s also for 5 of us.
She sounds massively excessive and well if she’s decided to spend 5k on a centre park holidays that’s her outlook.
Keep your money and take your boys away yourself at some point.

It's mental. £5k on a holiday isn't that outrageous, but a week in CP!?!
Agreed. We went to Florida in June this year. For the 4 of us for 2 weeks it was...Virgin flights - £1600
Private villa with pool/hot tub/games room - £1600
14 day access to 3 universal theme parks - £1100
Car hire (Chrysler 300C) - £450

I'd quite like to call BS on the "upgrade during the week" - I just can't see that happening as they run the sites at capacity the whole time. I'd be amazed if any of the super premium stuff was vacant.
Good shout; OP, ask your kids (not directly), if they were moved into a "nicer lodge"! Shuvi McTupya said:
Just try and visualise yourself on the holiday with her as she makes all the decisions that make the bill keep creeping up.
Should we go to the shop and get some food?
"No we are on holiday, lets just eat out!" £200 a day
Should we stay in this chalet and save a few quid?
"No , lets get the upgrade for a few days !!" £700
Anyone thirsty? I am putting the kettle on.
"Thats what room service is for"..£20
This is what I was thinking, only with the added "oh my ex will be giving me a bit of money towards this anyway" attitude during it and, probably "..well if he doesn't I'll make life difficult" - total catch 22 situation.Should we go to the shop and get some food?

If you do, do the same as she did in the future and turn the tables. See what the outcome is.

I wouldn’t use centre parcs again as there are much better places about. Tell her to sod off then take the kids on holiday yourself. If you’re a bit broke go to one of the forest holidays places or bluestone resort. Cheaper than centre parcs and a lot nicer.
Umm... Forest Holidays is not really any cheaper Gassing Station | The Lounge | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
