Would you let your daughter take a day trip by herself?
I just turned 16. My boyfriend of ten months is in his freshman year of college at a school around two hours away from me by train. I'm used to taking the train to see him, because he usually lives an hour away from me and it's the only way to get there besides driving. Anyways, I want to visit him in September, but my mom isn't sure if I should be able to.
It would require me getting to Grand Central Station on the subway in the day time, which I do All THE TIME (because that's where I catch the train to go to my boyfriend's house), and then getting on a train to Poughkeepsie which is an hour and forty minute train ride. Then, my boyfriend would either pick me up from the train station or I'd get a taxi service to take me to his campus. I'd be going on a Saturday morning and returning on a Saturday night by 11:30pm, which is my curfew. I'm used to taking the trains at night. I have an iPhone, so I'd contact my mom once I got on the train, got to his campus, etc.
Would you let your daughter do this? My mom isn't willing to drive me and I really can't wait until October to see him. We wouldn't be spending the day at his college, he'd give me a quick tour and then we'd go to the mall or something. I'd be on a 9:30 train home, arrive at Grand Central at around 11:10, then hop in a cab home.
Erm probably not, too many weridos out there but my compromise might be drive her to the train station and pick her up when she got back to the train station. I also would want her to check in from time to time. But thats just me.
Nope I would not. It's not even because of the travel really. You have no business spending the night on a college campus. Sorry, it may sound old fashioned, but there are too many things that can go wrong with this plan. I would never let my daughter do this.
Verron she said she would be home that day, therefore not an overnight thing.
Yes, I would. You are 16 and old enough to look after yourself. When I was your age I used to travel from city to city where I lived and stay in hotels with my friends or by myself over night. From what you have written you sound very mature and you have clearly thought this through and as you are used to traveling and taking the train on your own then I don't see why you shouldn't go.
Just explain to your mum the situation and say everything you have written here and tell your mum you would call her and text her at appropriate times. When you're on the train, getting off, with your boyfriend, on campus and when you're coming back or when you think it's appropriate that way she knows you're safe and getting in touch.
- Will Apple Retail Stores refill stock one day after launch day? If in any way an Apple Retail store runs out of stock after launch day of the new iPhone 6, is there any chance that by the next day there will be new stock already again? Or does sold out mean = sold out for a few weeks.
- What would you do if you were watching your favorite show, and your 20 year old kid turned off the TV so that you couldn't watch it? I pay all the bills at the house. I normally watch AHS once a week with my kid. This week, she told me to go watch it in my own room. I told her my TV wasn't working and we would just have to watch it in her room. She turned off the TV so that I couldn't watch it. Then, she pompously pulled out her iPhone and proceeded to watch it on her iPhone. What would you do if this happened to you?

- How to let my daughter use my iTunes account? I have an iPhone 4S and my daughter has an iPhone 4. I have an Apple ID and an iTunes account. My daughter only had an Apple ID. I have let my daughter download one paid song on her phone so that is all she has on there. She currently has no iTunes account and she wants the songs I have on mine. How do I let her log into my account?
