13 is a little old for separation anxiety.
Ya think? My nine year old had a full week of overnight camp this summer, and then begged to stay another week. And if anyone had, and could be expected to have, seperation issues, it was she.

OP, for your own good, lock this thread and stop responding asap. Use this site for entertainment purposes and not for advice. Because it seems to be impossible for them to just answer a question, you will get more questions, and each time you answer, you'll get more opinions that you don't want or need. Trying to defend yourself on this forum is almost impossible.
Unless you kiss butt and tell them how wonderful they are they'll come back with some sarcastic comment or - if they can't find anything to complain about, your paragraph structure or your spelling. If you enjoy reading the opinions of self-righteous couch potatos, questioning your parenting abilities, your morals, etc., then go for it. Otherwise, as I said, get out as soon as you can. Then when you're bored come here and pretend you're watching Jerry Springer.
Gawd, my 9 year old was MAD at me this year because I told her she was too young for overnight camp. I'm gonna have to back down on that next year, aren't I?

OH BROTHER!!! O.K. June Cleaver...time to join the real world.
I travelled to Europe on my own when I was 13, spent 10 days with friends, then flew back by myself. At 15 1/2 I drove cross country retracing Jack kerouac's travels until I hit a Coyote at 3 a.m. in Adamanda, Arizona.
I know, I know.
And when I was 9, I was travelling the country with my coach from horse show to horse show, relatively unsupervised except when I was actually in the ring, and I survived.
My name is CJane and I'm an overprotective parent.

Actually, kiddo was still 8 this summer- but she's even younger emotionally because of stagnating the first 25 months in the orphanage. She did great.
If it's on your time - none at all. If it's on Dad's - also none at all since you shouldn't be planning anything for his time. Easy, eh?![]()
