[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally I wouldn't.  Maybe down the road.  I would just say that you have plans to do some special Mom/Daughter things while son is at camp.  If it was a last minute invite, it's not a big deal if you say no.

I would hate for her to get sunburned day 1 and then suffer the rest of the trip.  Hopefully that wouldn't happen.

I find the dynamics a bit hard with my DC's and their cousins, GPs try to split their time evenly but cousins are high-drama kids and their parents are always looking for a break.  If your DD is not getting along with the cousin, would GPs help the situation?  Sometimes it's awkward for GPs to discipline when one parent is there and the other isn't.[/quote]

I know this is going to sound snarkier than I mean it, but [b]you would seriously not send your kid on a vacation on the slight chance she may get sunburned?[/b]
Are we really that fragile these days...
Lord -- our generation is raising a bunch of punks...are kids can't handle sunburn or sunblock...

There are sunburns, and then there are sunburns.  My kids are redheads and burn like you wouldn't believe.  They burn so badly that they cannot wear clothing on the affected areas; they develop blisters on burnt skin; they get fevers and chills and cannot sleep.  This hasn't happened much but the few times it has have been horrific.

Sunburns are a huge issue for our kids in particular and if they were too young to manage the sunblock themselves and I couldn't count on an adult to do so, then I would think hard about allowing them to go to the beach.[/quote]
