[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, I’m not reading 15 pages of this, but I can’t believe how uptight most of dcum is.

Didn’t you all go on class trips and stay in hotel rooms without adults? I recall being 11-12 in a room with friends. What’s wrong with that? [/quote]

No I did not go on class trips and stay in hotel rooms at that age. [/quote]

I did, and my kids have as well. 5th grade trip, 3 kids per room. Adults in separate rooms.

At age 9 our kids walked to/from school on their own. Age 10, had free roam of a cruise ship. Got themselves to/from kids club and had to check in with us when they returned to the cabin for the evening. Middle School aged now - stayed alone in airbnb condo in Hawaii while Dh and went to dinner 30 minutes away.  They ride metro and buses by themselves to get around with their friends. They love the independence and most of their friends have the same levels of freedom. We are not outliers among our circle of parents.

If your kid is high anxiety and not used to traveling, that's one thing. if you and kids are comfortable, and used to having independence and responsibility, it's a different story.  [/quote]
