A mum has sparked debate online, saying she wants to go on holiday without her step-daughter. And the mum is keen to press on with the idea - despite knowing it'll likely upset the little girl.
The new mum, who has a new baby with her partner, is keen to take advantage of cheap travel options. It would mean leaving behind her partner's eight-year-old daughter, who he had during a previous relationship, the Mirror Online reports.
But parents struggled to decide if she was acting reasonably, when she turned to Mumsnet for advice. In a post on the website, the mum explained she doesn't want the schoolgirl to come along for several reasons, including cost and convenience.
