[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hello again, the thing is I am going to be going away on business to the west coast for 7 of the days. My H is going on a golf trip with his brother and my other D is in camp, so we could not go and get her and I wouldn't feel comfortable asking them to drive 4-5 hours to bring her home early.

It's either she goes or stays (in which case now she would be alone). My H planned his trip once he knew she was going. I have spoken to her ad nauseum but she rolls her eyes as she is tired of hearing the same thing over and over.

Bottom line, lets put everything else aside, would you let your 17 year old go to a beach trip with her BF and his family?
Just curious if I am being overly reactive or most would be like me.[/quote]

MY DH would NEVER have allowed it. I wouldn't allow it either at 17. 10 days is a long time. HOWEVER, my daughter would probably be on BC and have the sex talk IN DEPTH with a discussion on STDs and pregnancy long before she started dating.

When I was in my [b]mid 20s[/b], I went away with my BF (later my DH) and his parents for 2 days and my grandmother had a hissy fit and was telling my mother that I was a slut for doing so. I found out when I called to tell her I was extending my trip for another day. I did it anyway and I'm glad I didn't let some old fart ruin my relationship. (The irony was that my grandmother was married and having sex by the time she was 20, yet had a fit because I was going away in my mid 20s to be with my first BF!)

We got married less than a year later. My mother raised me right and I made the right decisions for me. You have to trust that you raised her right.

You don't see the difference?
She was married, you weren't.
I can see why she would think you were a slut. [/quote]
