MY PERSONAL opinion, if your daughter is coming with you old folks and your only worry or her only worry is the msn hookup, i see a problem there.
Why don't you make this 4 day vacation, a family vacation and include your daughter in your activities. Do something that she will enjoy doing? Why take a teenage girl with you when you are only worry is to hook her up on a plug with msn, to just keep her happy and busy?????
She might as well stay home and enjoy the comfort of her house while you are sipping up your loads in a pub!
What do you think?

Bit patronising isn't it? Telling people how to manage their kids? |

| well said leffette,just what I was thinking! Why do parents bother taking their chuildren on holiday when all they want to do is drink?In Cyprus,there are so many beautiful places to visit and learn from that booze seems to be a waste of time and money. |

That's my whole point...why drag your kids with you...when you don't include them......
It is like having visitors over and don't include them in the circle

| Just to let you know beverley and leffette i dont drag my teenage daughter on holiday with us she comes by choice, and we dont sit drinking all day and night infact will will visit most places while we are there we do not lounge round the pool all day and get tanked up at night, but as we will not take on the responsibility of taking someone else child with us, she misses her friends alot, so she can catch up each evening for about hour or so, that she doesnt loose track with whats going on, my daughter is the very reason we travel around the world so she can experience all the world has to offer |

well said, she is your daughter and you know better.
We are just sharing opinions in peace in this forum. We got the wrong message when you first posted this, but now you made it so clear.
so did you manage with msn anyway???
ADVICE
If you guys are rich, you can have a remote access...it shouldn't be difficult.
