[quote=Anonymous]I honestly don't care if you do not agree with our decision to not have him stay over an extra night by himself in a city he does not and get himself to the airport almost an hour and a half away on his own, TO US that would not work. He is a typical 16 year old and I would not feel comfortable with this arrangement and frankly most people I know felt the same way.  I find it surprising that anyone would do that.

The reason I started this was because when I told my sister this story her attitude was "no biggie, they are doing you a huge favor so you kind of have to just go with it" and then I started to second guess myself as to whether I was overreacting or not being fair hence why I posted this thread. I was curious once the facts were laid out if others would have felt the same way.

And everyone seems all over the map from cancel the trip to just suck it up. I never said I would not do it but I did somewhat begrudgingly, and again i was just curious how many others would have been annoyed or if I am just not being considerate of what they are treating my son to , a very nice trip.

NO I am not enamored as someone suggested, with them or their money. I was just taken aback by the sudden change and in the extra money I had to lay out, but when I asked her yesterday, about what I could pay for, and sending him with extra money she was very adamant bout "everything being taken care of and he won't need a cent".

Have no idea why someone said my S is going to an Ivy League??? Though it would be awfully nice!
