[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question: my son and his group of friends are all couples that have been dating a long time (6 couples with 2-4 yrs relationships for all). They want to get a beach house during "beach week" together as couples.  My husband and I are both from NOVA and we both went to beach week 30 yrs ago (yikes! saying that hurts a little, lol!) These guys are wanting to go down separately (not the same week or even the same beach location) as the rest of their high school.  I am really struggling with this.  I know they all have sex anyway, but this feels like a bridge too far--sending them off on a couples retreat basically.  All the other parents in the group seem to be fine with this and I am frankly left scratching my head.  I would be more apt to consider the co-ed situation if they were all just a platonic group of friends, but this is different.  Looking for other parent input to determine if I am overreacting. (Please be gentle)[/quote]

I wouldn't be comfortable with this either. 
Sex aside, I would want my kid socializing with the rest of the school.  I'm not at all a fan of romantic partnerships that spend all their time together in high school (or even college). These years are better spent investing in a larger variety of people.  Kids have their entire lives (i.e. marriage) to spend 95% of their time with one person.

It’s a little too late for the concern about wanting them to socialize with other people at school, no? It’s a trip taken after graduation from HS but before they start college. Presumably the group is not all attending the same college. I’m not a fan of beach week period, but the composition of this group wouldn’t bother me because the reality is they are already having sex. Honestly, it’s probably safer than 10 girls staying together and going out, drinking, meeting random guys, etc. [/quote]
