[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP,

If she has a nice boyfriend whom she's been with a year, I would let her go. [b] (I wouldn't have appreciated the his mom's flip response about the sleeping arrangements.)[/b]

You need to talk with your DD about being responsible about sex if she decides to have it and/or is already having it.  Seriously, your kid could be having sex any time any where.

I knew someone in college who wouldn't go for a pelvic exam/preventative health screening.  She said, "My mom will think I'm having sex."  I responded, "But you are having sex."  Which she was with her boyfriend.  I wasn't sexually active yet, but as a woman, you go for the dreaded pelvic exam.  It's time to let your kid grow up.  She's going to have sex eventually whether you think she's ready or not.  She should be prepared.

I agree with this, though I would also let her go. But maybe a follow up convo with mom where you thank them for looking after your DD during the trip and convey that your DD is still young and while you really like their son a lot and think they make a nice couple, you're conservative about certain things. Something calm and measured and avoiding anything that sounds like "your really tall son might be taking advantage of my underage daughter." It sounds like bf's mom could use a reminder that she still needs to exercise responsibility over your daughter while she's in her care, and at the least she will probably tone down the "jokes."[/quote]
