    I dont know about irrational.
    We did think about it yes..and we havent booked a holiday yet. We are about to.
    I already knew when I posted on the forum that I was somewhat over reacting...but It is a concern we cannot help but have.
    Thank you

    I can't understand why you would consider a holiday if the " thought of it " Terrifies " you Supernube ?

    You haven't booked it , so why not consider some where you would be happy taking your children ?

    The worlds a big place :)

    Only you can decide but I've been to Turkey every year for the last 20+ years (next trip next week) and the people are lovely. They love children. I really don't think there'll be a problem.

    Exactly, Turkey is brilliant. If you are scared, then go to Margate or maybe Scarborough, they are great especially on a rainy day.

    Thank you. Im sure you are right...and I am sure we will have a lovely time If we go ...which I am sure we will...our first time as a family !!
    We wanted to take the children on holiday for the last couple of years but couldnt afford it until now....it is for them....not for us.
    We cant help worrying about them.

    Then rather than spoil your holiday with worry .. Just go somewhere else ? Holidays are there to be enjoyed suerly ?

    You never will if you don't go. Where do you usually go?
