There really isn't anything I can do about this but it bothers me so much. I don't think it's appropriate to allow a 14 year old girl to go on a cruise with her boyfriend,even if his mother is going with. I doubt she will want to be chaperoning them 24 hours a day. I told my father I was surprised he'd allow this and he just said I must be jealous! I helped raise both my stepsisters and this is just the latest in a long string of non-parenting by my dad and his wife,and it makes me so sad to see it going down. The attitude seems to be that if they said no she'd be difficult to live with,and if they let her go they get her out of the house for a week. they put her on the pill earlier this year because it was easier than trying to talk to her about sex. It makes me sad. I feel like all I can do is tell my own daughter (she's 10 and has grown up with my stepsisters in her life) not to expect this kind of thing to go on in our household EVER.
