Default Finally got through to the Music Director..

the one who asked if Em could go to scotland alone.

I outlined her day and night care, and carefully outlined all the what if scenarios, highs, lows, illness etc...

And he replied, that he had no idea, what was involved and she "looked" fine to him.

Now at break he asks her "Are you OK?" All the time LOL. I really scared him.

But now there is no way, no how that I am going to be an official chaperone with teen attitudes like that around, who knows what they are cooking up.
I think I will have my hands full dealing with the time change and Em etc.. never mind other kids getting in to trouble.
So I don't know what the scenario is going to look like. I will prob. have to pay a bit more. And I think I will be as close as I can to her and have to educate the chaperone and friends on how to help her at night if she needs it.. etc.. What a headache.
D makes it all so complicated...

Are you going to stay in the same hotel that they are staying in? If so, then why can't she share your room? I understand that during the day she will be with her group doing their activities but when everyone comes back to the hotel, why can't she be under your watch?

I've been wondering what came of this situation. I'm SO glad you were able to make him understand.
