[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of you naysayers don't have 17 year olds? Let alone 17 year olds in long-term, healthy relationships?  I would have said no once upon a time too, but now that I have a 17 year old, I would say yes if: the boyfriend/girlfriend's parents agreed, and there were separate sleeping arrangements.  They might be having sex (probably are - I was 17 once too!), but I am not going to make it easy for them, give permission,  and, they have to much respect for us to do it under our noses anyway.

Two of my kids have passed the age of 17.  For us, vacations are family time.  [b]When you're engaged, you can bring the person.[/b] [/quote]

You're going to regret that. DH and I dated for 5 years. If neither of our parents let us bring the other on vacation, we wouldn't have gone. We dated from 21-26 and I'm grateful my parents accepted my boyfriend. That way once grandkids came along at 30, we invited grandparents on our vacation. I have friends who weren't allowed and whose future MILs wouldn't even meet them for lunch, dinner or vacations. Those MILs got cut off when their sons got married. [/quote]

21-26 years old?  Not the same.[/quote]

+1 Not even close, and not inviting him on vacation is not the same thing as "not accepting" him.[/quote]

That 2nd pp said when "you're engaged" you can bring the person. That's extreme. I wouldn't have gone on vacations with either set of parents for a decade before we married if they didn't let me bring my future DH.[/quote]
