[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  The GF parents give her free-rein with no restrictions at all.  They wouldn't care if she was with my son alone for the entire summer.  [/quote]

Imagine that in Europe they think an 18year old, adult, can manage their time. Maybe thats why the average 15 year old in Europe has the maturity level of the average 23 year old American. you said "alone with my son" like you think they arent having sex already. [/quote]

OH BS! I'd love to know the imaginary Europeans you DCUMERS claim to know. I assure you 15 yo  Eutopean kids are not more mature than  23 yo American kids. I can also assure European kids don't do whatever the hell they feel like in regards to home life and their parents.[/quote]

The post isnt far off. I see absolute stupidity out of recent college grads often. For example, a full grown23-year-old woman blaming her coworkers, who don't even live with her for not making sure she was awake and at work on time for an important meeting. A 22ish-year-old man saying it was not fair he has to stay late to finish work he didn't, he had plans to go out with friends.[/quote]

So you know two examples of clueless American young adults and that translates to all 20 something American adults and  European teens being more mature?

As I said , you and  the "sophisticated Euro" DCUM crowd are clueless.[/quote]

Correction I cited two, I dont "know two". Look at teen pregnancy rates, drug abuse, alcohol related deaths the list goes on and on,  US teens and young adults surpass European teens and young adults in virtually every negative category....maturity at work.  No one said "sophisticated" did they? Nice job trying at defining a position no one took. Sad you're in denial that the helicopter, boogie man is waiting behind every corner to snatch your baby partening technic is so typical. Fact of the matter is in Europe kids arent babied into young adulthood, [b]OP case in point.[/b] She is just one of the legion of partents that think their young adult is a child compared to Europe where it is very common to trust their decsion making and not treat them like little children.

NP here and leave OP out of your insane argument!  She already admitted that she was angry because she misses her son.  She raised a top student, student leader who is up for merit and NEED BASED scholarships for college and has worked since he was 14 and paid for this trip himself by working hard this summer and getting an A in a college class.  She did not stand in the way of her son going to Sweden with his girlfriend and just worries about him and misses him.

BTW, this is not about red-shirting either!  [/quote]

Why leave her out, she is the one who started the topic. Using nonsense excuses to cover the fact she misses him. Its good she owned up to it, most people will continue to deny their real feelings rather than being honest with themselves. Sounds likes they raised a great kid to me, thatswhy i had a hard time understanding the outrage. By the way, why capitalize needs based? [/quote]
