I spoke with my mom and told her what my plans are. Not sure if she approves but I intend on following through with them whether she does approve or not. I also sent my dad an e-mail (we usually communicate through e-mail) also telling him my plans and talking to him a little about my situation here at home. I'm waiting on a response.
However I found out today that my mom planned a little family "vacation" without telling us (my siblings and I). Apparently she's planned for us to go Florida this coming week, once again, without even talking to us about it. The thing is, last time we went on vacation it turned out not to be a vacation - we stayed permanently. And I'm more than sure that this is what she's planning since she and my dad have been speaking on the phone more often than usual the past couple of days. Since I'm still only 17, am I even in my right to refuse to go? I mean, I can refuse, but would that even make a difference?
I tried compromising with her - I told her that if she would let me go camping with my boyfriend and his family I would accompany her to Florida in return - solely for vacation. She completely refused my offer, though, and told me that whether I wanted to or not, I'm going to Florida...and not camping.
