How old should you stop going on holiday with your parents?

I'm on holiday with my mum now and I feel trapped. It's just a few days but I feel like I should be doing my own thing now, how do I tell her?
I really appreciate it but feel like I need to be out with friends.. Any thoughts?

stay with your mom. One day, you will have memories when she can no longer go.

@thinkbigaboutlife I know and I do enjoy it but also feel like I need some space and maybe a late night or two!
@BoredPanda I don't know how often you go on vacation with your mother, but if it's only once a year, suck it up. If it's more often than that, talk to her openly about it. She is likely to understand and take it the positive way because, let's face it, she's been your age before. good luck!

It's more than once a year but not for long and I do have fun. I just feel like I should get our with friends too. Maybe I should talk to her!
talk to her. I am sure you can suck it up if they are short! You have all the other days to see your friends. Plus you did say you have fun too! That's great. Sounds like your relationship with your mom is very good!

We have a lot of fun, I enjoy spending time with her. I guess a lot of my friends no longer do family holidays and are more into partying.
I knew your friends were the influence! Maybe they are not close to their parents as you are! Just count your blessings, and continue spending some holiday time with your mom. Don't copy-cat your friends.

Everyone seems to be out partying. It's not that I don't enjoy time with her.
do you have to do everything others do??? Just be you!

Just feel a little left out sometimes,ike I'm missing something
It's normal. But like some have said, have a bit of balance: some with her, some without. Just remember that she also enjoys time with you, so those moments are precious to her. I'm a mom of a son too.

Thank you its good to have your opinion, I do enjoy time with her too! Do you go on holiday with your son much?
no.
