I'm a bit surprised that none of you would let your child fly at the age of 11. You pay extra for being tended to and it is non-stop. I personally wouldn't hesitate if the offer was reversed.
Thanks for the replies. We did tell our girl and she took it better than we thought. Maybe I worry too much because it will get better for her at some point but this was such a special friendship and we are still deeply wounded by everything.
Take care
My daughter flew alone since young age so that wouldn't be an issue. But she flew to be with family members not to stay in the house of someone she went to school a year and a half ago. They were friends but it doesn't make it comfortable for her parents to send her to stay in your house for that long. They don't know how you live and what are your living conditions. They also clearly were confused that you are struggling so bad yet paying her tickets and upkeep at your house. It would make me uncomfortable too. You just have to think how it looks to others
