Daughter No 2

Wants a family holiday in Lanzarote, Books it, pays the deposit and when the balance becomes due "Mum!"
I only find out when I go to pay the card bill and 4 grand has appeared from nowhere.

Due back this morning. text.

Car rental messed us around and we have missed our flights.

Message through No 1 daughter, they can only get back Thursday.

I am expecting the call. We have to pay for our accommodation and flights and have no money.

My instinct is tough, if you cannot afford the holiday, save up. You didn't check in on time, your problem. But they have a 10 year old and two two year olds with them. How do I get my grandkids home and leave the waste of space parents in foreign climes?
