[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]

“If I can’t bring my boyfriend I’m not coming!” Guess whose ass would HAPPILY have been left at home in my family...[/quote]

My family is very different. I am one of only 2 kids and we have both lived away from home since 16 and 18 years old. We dated our partners starting at 25 and 26 and were together for 6 and 7 years before any marriage. If my parents wanted to go on a vacation with us in our twenties they's be pretty ridiculous to be uptight about the boyfriend thing. There would be nothing happy for my parents about wasting an opportunity to spend time with us and having us go another 6 months without seeing them. [/quote]
