This one is for parents...

Question

would you let go your teenage daughter to las vegas with her bf to a concert? they would be leaving the next day..

your daughter works part time and goes to school full time

she will be paying for her own expenses

it wouldn't cost you any money

you can call her 24/7

she's overall a good girl

she's 18...

IF YOU WOULDN'T LET HER GO THEN WHY?????

is it too much to ask for? what do you think? mama said no no..she didn't even think about it. its pissing me off because i still have to ask her for permission to do EVERYTHING. so what's the point of being 18..

its not like we're gonna go wild, she knows my bf, and we are not stupid enough to get married (no offense)

AND the band (foo fighters) is not coming to california so.. I would really love to go because I like to go places and do things and mama is such a boring mom...

Answer 1

Parents will be parents. They do not want you to get hurt. Vegas is hardcore, so just tell them you are responsible to go. List examples for them and tell them that you are 18 and mature. Tell them about the possible dangers and tell them how you can avoid them.

I think they are uptight because of the short notice. But good luck. Have fun in Vegas, and bring me back a postcard !

Answer 2

There is one way of getting to go, take your mom along with you. Ok it's not a great idea, but at least you'll get to see the band. Your mom will have to pay her own way though & have a seperate hotel room too.

Just a suggestion, but there is more than one way to skin a cat ! *lol*

Answer 3

Your mom doesn't want you to go because it's Vegas as much as she wants to trust you it's hard. Because there are casino's, stripper clubs, and lots of other inappropriate things that she doesn't want you to be exposed to. In my opinion that I would let you go because, I was in the same situation when I was your age. If I were you I would talk to your mom and try to make a comprimise, tell her that you're responsible and that you can handle the real world. After a while she might say yes, if not then there will always be other concerts, and other times to prove to your mom that you are responsible and you can handle the real world..but you will have to live under her rules since you are still living under her roof...good luck!

Answer 4

No, I wouldn't want her to go. But she would be eighteen, and they'd be coming home the next day.

So you can't really stop her from going, since she's paying for her own expenses and she's eighteen.

And if she's a good girl, I'd trust her.

Answer 5

As your still living at home, you really need to follow the basic rules your parents have. I don't think I would let you go either in the described situation.

I know anyone will have sexual relations with another given the right temptation and opportunity.

I suggest you invite you mother along, you and her share one room, your bf has another room. all can ride in the same car together or something like that. Have a chaperone.
