[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can you call the gf's parents to at least find out where they're going and if they'll have adults with them?

Not sure what you can do about it at this point tbh, but he's definitely taught you that he can't be trusted with that level of freedom.  [/quote]

He is an adult.

This is one of those things that people don't think about when they redshirt.  [/quote]
+1 . I keep telling people it is not fun having an 18year old or even a 19 year old at home as a high school senior.  People rarely think about this when they red shirt.Many of my sons older friends had turbulent senior years and were in constant conflict with their parents.  My son who went away to college at 17 seemed happier to be at home under our roof until he left for college.[/quote]

This was not the case with OP's son and I hardly call the top student, President of the senior class who decided to stay in Europe for six extra days on a trip he paid for by himself in "constant conflict with his parents"!

My DS was purposely redshirted and was a very happy senior and great student who played baseball for an Ivy League school and just graduated.  Redshirting works out sometimes.  He was a great high school senior - no issues at all.  [/quote]
