glastonbury with a 12year old??

[waterbug]

been watching the glastonbury coverage with my 12 year old dd and now she's begging me to take her next year. I wouldn't mind myself, but I've never been(though a couple of years ago we had some free tickets and just gave them away! can you believe that!??), so anyway, I don't really know if it would be ok to take her.Has anybody been with children, what was it like??

i haven't been - wanted to take my 14 yr old this year, but we couldn't get tickets. I thought it would be useful the first time he went to something like that to go with him - before he's too old to go anywhere with his mum! i think quite a few children do go. we'll try again next year!

Would be great. I would love to take my 2 (5 and 2) Unfortunately it would be way too crowded for autistic ds1 so wouldn't do it. If he wasn't autistic though I would have tried to take him last year. Be aware though that drugs are sold pretty openly - I wouldn't worry about young kids, but obviously older ones would notice that sort of thing. Maybe a chat beforehand?

There's a family camping field as well- which would be work getting into.

worth getting into even

gettingthere - would you go on your own with him or would you take another 'responsible' adult along ?
dd1 now thinks that I would get too drunk to find my way back to the tent and maybe we should take somebody else along!!
now my 5 year old dd thinks we should take her as well, but that would definitely be too much hassle!

wouldn't it be great to have a MN meet up at glastonbury!!

I can't wait to take L to events like this. go for it

My DS will definitely be made to go when he is older - compulsory for him I'm afraid!
