Teenagers night away......
So we all know the rules and laws well.....but sometimes I want to find a way to parent as we would back home....and demonstrate our trust in our kids.
Group of teenagers 17-19 planning a night away at a cheap resort, planning to play cards, swim etc with no parents. Thankfully himself 'fessed up and came clean before as the others are apparently not telling their folks. (In itself a warning sign)
No issues with trust now and know there may be a few beers but the bunch are fun and have got over excess. We don't believe at all this is 9.5 weeks - they want some freedom and independence.
He won't listen to our concerns that (a) there may be teens and Teen-Esses under the same roof (b) other guests may complain or take offence even while the teens may not be doing anything wrong (c) if something worse happens how do they deal with it or get home as they are not driving.
We know our answer and decision is final - it is painful to deliver to a teen that doesn't want to hear.
I know many of you face the same decisions and curious if the more lenient parents would allow them to go.
