Can I get a parents point of view on this? would you let your child do this?

Ok so I was talking to a friend of mine,and theres this festival we go to every summer and my parents let me go.Now we usually go to the date thats 45 minute away,but my friend and I were thinking why not switch it up a bit this year and go to the other date,it's 3 hours away from where we live though,but this is our plan.

We go to the date thats 3 hours away(it's also on a saturday)

we leave the town friday afternoon

go to the hotel and relax for a bit and maybe walk around(btw this things in Miami)

be back at the hotel by 9

next day saturday morning go over to the festival stay there all day.then go back to our hotel

then sunday afternoon go back home.



now,it would only be me,and my 2 other friend,with our friends mom.We will all be 15 by then and I honestly think it's ok as long as I have the parent with us,at the festival me and my friends always go alone well not really our friends mom sits at a certain area and tans for the whole entire day while were watching all the bands and stuff and we call in every 2 hours.



I mean im a good kid,decent grades(A's B's and C's) I never do anything big like this so I think it'd be something cool to do.I know this isn't until July but my friends and I decided we should plan ahead so we can figure it out so our parents don't see this as a last minute put together and that we've actually been thinking about the cans and can'ts for this whole idea.My parents are a little strict about when I make ideas and they want direct honest answers or they don't get to happy



but honestly if I was your daughter and I asked you could I do this would you think it would be ok to do this for a weekend in the summer if it was the only big thing I asked to do in the summer? or would you automatically say no? and if you would say no,why wouldn't you want me to do it?



along with if I need to tweak some rules to make my parents see im serious about this and that I really want this what rules could I add in to make them really think about it and say yes?Can I get a parents point of view on this? would you let your child do this?
if i was convinced that the parent going had good judgement and didnt think anything was fishy about it i would. definitely let your parents talk to the parent that will be going. maybe even the other kids parents. for me it would depend also on how much trouble your friends that are going tend to get in trouble. a list of contacts such as the hotel number and address will definitely help. 15 is kinda young to go away for a weekend and of course i would be nervous but if there is truly a responsible adult going it should be ok. as far as rules go i would suggest to them calling into your parents as well as the one going. keep in mind if you blow this or bend the truth it will be very hard to convince them next time you want to do something like this. also suggest a curfew which may suck but is reasonable at your age. good luck and have fun!Can I get a parents point of view on this? would you let your child do this?
If your parents like this mom that would take you and they trust her judgment - then yes, I would let you go. My parents were also really strict but as long as the parents was trustworthy they would let me do things like that.



If your parents don't let you go just remember your parents aren't doing it because they don't trust you - they just don't trust the other people. (If that makes sense) Good luck. Hopefully it works out since you are planning it now.
If I was your parent, I would be hesitant, but it would have less to do with you and more to do with your friends and friend's mum. If you are 45 mins away, it would only take 45 mins for me to reach you if you were in trouble. If you are three hours away, it would take three hours to get you. It doesn't matter how responsible you are, if your friends and friend's mum won't abide by your and your parents' rules, there's not a whole lot you can do but go along with it.Can I get a parents point of view on this? would you let your child do this?
Yes I would let you go if I was the parent. At 15, I went with my older boyfriend to Miami for a whole week (it was another state, hours away).
just flat out talk to your parents. mine were the same way. have all the details like who's paying for the room, who's going, agenda. you know, logistics. you'd probably want to give them a good reason too. you're parents are just people. they have the final word but what you do and how you do it could probably sway the vote.Can I get a parents point of view on this? would you let your child do this?
In Miami - right in the city, and it's three hours from where you live now?



No, I wouldn't let you, not unless you are already city kids or have lots of experience of being in cities. Big cities are not like little towns, and two hours at a time is far too long for a small group of naive fifteen year olds to be alone.



But I'd feel differently if it's out of town, or ticket-only, and if you would be staying in a small area (i.e. not wandering around town) with plenty of security staff to notice if anything untoward happened.
Weren't you in here a couple weeks back asking this same question? Have you even tried just, y'know, *asking your parents for what you want* yet?
well this festival sounds a lot like warped tour. just a guess.

i think its okay as long as you have at least 1 adult that your parents know is responsible. ive been going since i was 13 and my parents have never had a problem with it. i would just say to keep ur grades up and just keep everything good. and when you ask just keep cool about it. i dint see a reason your parents should let you go.
