Marie....just say no. Your kids may hate you today for it, but they'll get over it and thank you later.

My brother sister and I were not allowed on group trips like this and we caught heck when we were 21 and wanted to vacation with just a few friends. Mom put up a fight (& got some grays) and when she hears about news like this she's glad she did. We were well off and she wanted to spoil us, but she had limits when it came to stuff like this.

Some people come out like "how could I say no" or "it's their graduation party" or "we all did it at one time or another". Well the world is a scarier place now than it was 50 years ago, or even 20 years ago. Times change and as a parent you have to change with them.
