[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Tacky to ask.  But we also have a similar set up and every time, the friend has arrived with money that their parents have told them to give us.  As well as spending money. [/quote]

Like, how much money do the kids give you?

I seriously want to know what the etiquette is and how much to send with my kid who is likely to get these invites as she gets closer to high school. [/quote]

"As she gets closer to high school?" You really don't need to be sweating this years in advance on the off chance some friend will take her to a beach house for several days.[/quote]

I wouldn’t allow it. You don’t know the parents or how much supervision these kids will have. Alcohol could be a factor. No way.[/quote]

Good lord. 17 year olds go to college. Get a grip.[/quote]

No, they go to college at 18 and alcohol and the beach means potential drowning.  Not smart. [/quote]

I went to college at age 17 (skipped a grade). My high school friends and I—a group of 8 girls—organized an entire week at the beach without a single parent involved. Did all the planning, shopping, packing, everything.

Now I have a 17 year old about to graduate from high school. To be honest, I’ve been way more involved in her teen life than my parents ever were in mine. But even she and her friends are planning both a beach trip in a few weeks with zero input or assistance from parents. I’ve never met the parents who own the beach house and I’m totally fine with that. I don’t even know if they’ll be at the house, and I’m fine with that, too. I trust my kid and I know her friends and that’s enough for me. (I will pony up money, though.)[/quote]
