| Sat, 07-07-2007 - 11:07am |
my ds is 18, his gf is 16...they have been dating for about 4 months...she was supose to go w/us camping .. her mother now won't let her go. she tells us the day we are leaving. she tells me it's inappropriate...well, 2 wks ago, she let her go to senior week down the shore where they were alone..ds is very depressed..what to do

I guess I can see where the kids are coming from - seems that the mom is changing rules in mid-stream.
Hi,
Having just survived beach week myself (we did not allow our DD to go, but her boyfriend did go...oh my gosh...what a week...)I certainly can understand your being confused as to why the mom wouldn't let her DD go camping with you. Camping with a family and all of you staying in the same camper sounds TAME compared to beach week. It sounds like the sister-in-law may have put some weird thought into the mom's head, making her think this would be an inappropriate camping trip. That's really a shame. And oh...my heart aches for your son. Even though I feel confident (based on what I've read here)that he'll be okay once he goes off to college, it's so difficult to watch our children when they are sad. My DD was so distraught the whole week of beach week because she was hearing from her boyfriend how much fun he was having, and also hearing things that she found to be upsetting. It just made me ache inside watching her pain. Good luck. I'll keep your son in my prayers. --Nancy
