[quote=Anonymous]Today I was approached by my daughter about Spring Break. I will say beforehand, she is 16 and this is her plan.

She was invited by her friend to stay in a beach house for 7 days (Sat-Sat). It will be their whole group of friends. This includes(assuming that everyone invited can come) 6 girls and 4 boys. The boys are  the kids invited by the girl's older brother but considering they are just a year apart, all 10 kids know each other and hang out. At the beginning of the trip there will be 4 adults. Come Monday, there will be 2.

As far as paying for anything. We do not have to contribute to the cost of the house they are renting. We do have to contribute to groceries. For transportation we need to provide that. It may just so happen that she could catch a ride with them going down there, granted they have space, but if not then it's up to us. We would also need to go pick her up as well. There is also the possibility that another person will drive and we would just have to contribute gas there. For me though, I'm not comfortable with her driving her car 5-6 hours away.

So my question is this, is it a good idea? I've known the girl's parents for years now. I'm not incredibly close with them but our kids have played sports and went to school together for almost 5 years now. I'm just worried about this 10 kids, 4 boys thing! That's a lot of teenagers for 2 adults to handle I think. I don't know if they will be able to properly supervise. If I do allow her to go, I'm thinking $150 spending money? They will be at the beach most of the time and I will buy some groceries to contribute before they go. [/quote]
