[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.  When you're engaged, you can bring the person. [/quote]

This is how I feel.  My now 19 year old vacationed with BF's family in HS.  I didn't want to object, but I didn't reciprocate either.  They dated multiple years. Break-up was a bit ugly and they are no longer on speaking terms. I fully expected them to break-up at some point. He was pretty close to us even without vacationing with us. Frankly, in retrospect, I'm glad he wasn't even closer (my younger kids sort of miss him, which is awkward).[/quote]
