[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think many of the parents who think Beach Week is fine are relatively young themselves -- closer in age to my teens than to me. Check back in when your kids are in high school and let's see if you've changed your mind. This isn't about what you did as a teenager -- being a parent of teenagers isn't for the faint of heart. You need to make the tough calls, even when it makes you unpopular and even when you'd rather give in and go along.[/quote] It goes both ways. I have college and high school aged kids. We sort of surprised ourselves when we agreed to the trip when the time came. DS was a really responsible kid and we felt he earned the trip and we were comfortable with the agreed-upon rules for the week. An adult was nearby if needed but did not "chaperone" the beach house.
