DD is 16, final year of school. She has asked if she can go to a (local- nearby city) weekender festival in the summer with two good friends, camping in a tent. Her boyfriend will also be there with his cousins (separate tent) so I know she'll be in a big group. They're all good kids, I've had a lot to do with all of them over the years and they're all sensible (well, AFAIK..!) and get on great. DD and BF have been together two years; he is a year older than her and working.
Basically I don't know if I would be being unreasonable to ask her to wait another year to go. Technically, she is allowed to leave home, get married, get a job etc so is it silly of me to try and stop her?
I'm just curious; have any of you been in this situation?
For the record, I trust her; we have a good relationship and talk about sex/drugs/ alcohol etc. She is really into the bands that are playing there so I have no doubt it is all about the music.
Plus my brother lives a ten-minute drive away from the festival location, so in case of an emergency he could be there straight away.
What do you think?
