Poll: Parents, would you let your teenage son go on a 2-3 day trip with his girlfriend and her parents?

Suppose this is the situation:





Your 14 or 15 year old son asked to go on a 2-3 day trip with his girlfriend and their parents. You know the parents and they have said yes. The kids will be completely supervised at all times. What would you say?





I am not in this situation I am just wondering what your opinions are on this topic. Thanks for reading! :-) Please answer seriously, and no rude comments. I did ask this in another category, I'm just looking for some more answers.Poll: Parents, would you let your teenage son go on a 2-3 day trip with his girlfriend and her parents?
I'd say yes if they were good, trustworthy people (not alcoholics, drug abusers, etc).Poll: Parents, would you let your teenage son go on a 2-3 day trip with his girlfriend and her parents?
I would say yes. I have been with my husband since I was 14 and we went away together more then once in high school. There is nothing wrong with it. Anything that could happen on vacation could happen at home as well. If you know the parents and are comfortable with them and that they will assure the children are supervised then I would say there is no reason to say no!
Yes i would. Im not a parent but i would. As long as the parents are there i mean that cant get into any trouble with that parents. I would just talk to your son. An i would talk to the parents.
No. There's no way the kids could be ';supervised at all times.'; Trust me. They would find some way to be alone!!!
YES I WOULD
i Will because if u know her parents and they will be supervised all time
Yeah.....We've been there...


One question you have to ask yourself





Do you trust your son??..Do you Respect your son??...How about the girl %26amp; her Family??...Our sons in collage now %26amp; we always talked ABOUT EVERYTHING ........





I / We allowed our son to go We knew the Parents / The girl We didn't have a problem with it %26amp; neither did they





They ALL had a wonderful 3 day weekend ..........Including US
I think I would have to say No but my kids are still young... I look at my family and friends who have children that age and I still want to say No as I have never seen them allow there children to go overnight that many days but I guess if I knew the parents REALLY well... I may be pursuaded but I dount it... I would probably want to tag along instead or offer a different option.
If I know the parents and their views are similar to mine, then it might be okay.





Honestly though, I don't think that parents with views similar to mine would probably invite their teenage daughter's boyfriend on vacation with them.
NO!!! Kids are VERY resourceful!!! If they wanted to be alone they would find a way.
14/15 is wayyyy too young!
yes i would if i knew the parents...


i have my 13 year old sister and have allowed her to go to her boyfriends house for the weekend. they live a few towns away so they dont get to see eachother very often unless she stays the night at his place and shares a room with his sister or he stays here and is watched by my husband...
why not.
No way - too risky. I don't want my son to be a father at 15!
I did that when I was 16, it was so much fun; we didn't do anything bad and we were supervised at all times. You just hang out with the family and not really by yourselves, there will be a lot of family activity and not a lot of alone time. IMO the families should know eachother pretty well.
It would have to depend on the parents of the girl. I've know other parents that appear to have strict rules, but then while on vacation....it just turns into a good time to be had and it's easier to be off guard at those times. BUT...seeing as how it is the GIRLS parents...I would think that they would be a bit more aggressive in their watchdog attitude? I don't mean to imply that parents of boys are less watchful...but it is truly the girl that pays the higher price for any mishaps that can occur.





Also keep in mind that with teens...where there is a will they will find a way...and it doesn't have to be while on vacation....it happens all the time and in all places.
Ha... No... because some way they WILL find alone time. Parents have to go to sleep at some point....no way they will be supervised 24/7. You can trust kids yes... but horomones are going crazy at that age.
No, I wouldn't, because they will NOT be completely supervised at all times, unless the daughter sleeps with the parents.
well if u know that the parents are like really good parents and do good thing and like where there going i guess i just really depends like if u really trust him and her family
Hey!





Well, I know I'm not a parent but I think I can answer this. I'm 13 and I know that we as kids want freedom at this age. I would say yes as long as they were supervised. At my age I don't really think of boyfriends and girlfriends as like a romantic thing. I think of it as best friends but different genders :)





I hope this kinda helped!!!
I personally would not allow my child to go on the trip at that age. It is no way that anyone can supervise kids completely. When the parents are fast asleep and hormones are raging it can be bad!! Kids are smarter than you think. I say NO!!
