17 year old dd wants to go camping with mixed group of friends (2 females and 6 males). I'd be more inclined to agree if it was on an organised site with adults around if something goes awry but she tells me this is going to be wild camping in the woods.
There will be alcohol, they'll take some food and light a fire.
The mix of alcohol and fire I have qualms about but she's not shown herself to make great decisions in the past six months - nothing awful but enough to make me have concerns that she'd be sensible.
She told me last week and when I expressed reservations and concerns sulked and engaged in immature behaviour. It's tonight and she's still upset I haven't said yes. I said that she could have her friends around here at home but really she wants to go wild camping.
AIBU to have said no and explained why? AIBU in not letting her go? I'm fully aware that she'll be off to uni this time next year but that's a whole year to develop appropriate maturity ...
