[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS, 18 as of the end of last month, has been in Sweden with his girlfriend and her extended family for the last ten days.  His plane ticket, which he did pay for himself, had him returning next week (a two week trip).  Just now, he informed us that he changed it and he and the girlfriend won't be coming back until the evening before the first day of school (we aren't in DC) which is adding another six days to his trip.

I am angry on so many levels!  He should not have made this decision without asking our permission and I have no clue where he and the girlfriend are going to be for that extra five days and who - if anyone - will be with them.  I am angry at myself for letting him go in the first place.  I am angry that he is starting his senior year with jet-lag.  I am just angry.

Am I overreacting?  DH is furious, too, so I cannot bounce this off him.  TIA[/quote]

Yes you are over reacting. He didnt ask permission because he is smart enough to know its easier to ask for forgiveness than having hour-long debates over the extra days. If thats the biggest problem with the kid your in good shape. [/quote]
