Would it be overprotective to stay nearby during my teen’s beach trip?
My son is 17 and a senior in high school. He wants me to rent a beach house for him, his girlfriend, and about 3–4 other couples. All of the kids are 17–18 and they would all be paying their share of the rental as well.
My hesitation is that they’re still kids, and the beach house would be about 2–3 hours away from home. I’m honestly not sure I feel comfortable with them being that far away with no adults around.
My first instinct was to chaperone, but my son and my husband both think that’s unnecessary and say they’ll be fine. Still, it really doesn’t sit well with me.
One of the other moms even texted me asking if I’d be there or if any parents would be there, which made me feel like I’m not the only one thinking about this.
What I’m considering is getting my own place nearby not staying in the house with them, but being maybe 15–25 minutes away in case something happens or they need help.
Am I being overprotective, or does this seem like a reasonable compromise?
I’d really appreciate some advice.
