A 43-year-old mum who goes on nights out with her 26-year-old daughter, including a festival in the Caribbean, boat parties on the Thames and clubbing in London, said the experiences have brought them closer together. Vee Roberts, a mum of four and brand and marketing expert from Surrey, had her daughter Roshan, a journalist, at age 17.
She started using clubbing as a way to blow off steam when she went to university, in between her studies, working and being a mum. The duo have partied abroad, with events starting at 3am, and most people cannot believe they are mother and daughter, with Vee claiming she is even more of a party animal than Roshan.
Vee has two sons, aged 20 and 10, and another daughter, aged seven, and hopes to party with her young son, daughter and Roshan next year at Notting Hill Carnival on a float. Vee became a mum at 17 and again at 19 while studying at London Metropolitan University for a marketing degree.
