G0iNG TO MEXiCO?
I got invited to my friend's aunt's beach house in Mexico for a week. My parents have already said they highly doubt they are going to let me go.
How can I convince them to let me go ? The wouldn't let me go to Washington with my friend either but this beautiful beach in Mexico is a once in a life time chance, and they let my brother go to London with his girlfriend with no parents!
- my dad works for an airline so theres no flight fee.
- I won't have to pay for a room fee
- I'll be with several adults including her parents, aunts, uncles, and grandparents
- We'll be flying into Phenoix and driving down to mexico so theres no problem in coustoms.
- this is a once in a life time chance
- I could get a nice tan =]
- my parents could be alone with no kids for a few days
- it'll be over the break so Im not missing any school.
My dad practicly said yes then my mom got a hold of him and now he's on her side. And her side is making me stay home. My mom has a bad impression of this girl and her family and I can't convice her that they are good people! She thinks they change there mind to much and I'm gonna be left in some strange airport in Mexico. I need some help on how to convice my parents!

Take it from the person who has been to Mexico at least 20 times in her lifetime...I can see your parent's concern. First of all, no matter how you cross the border, there will be customs issues. I usually cross from Arizona and things can get not-so-pretty even with having both my parents with me. When I went with just my mom a few years back, my dad had to sign some kind of paper (like a letter of consent) stating that my mom is on vacation...not trying to take me away and get custody the wrong way. Without your parents there, theres more of a reason for them to question you...you do NOT want to be stopped at the border to be checked or questioned. It sucks! Also, when I go, I'm not allowed to bring friends. You never mentioned you age but anyway, there will be other oppertunities for you to travel in Mexico. if your dad works for an airline then it should be no problem. Your parents have the final say and you can't get over the border without them loving the plan/people you are going with...maybe wait until you can go with your family instead. I know it's probably not what you wanted to hear but just giving you some backround... the thing you're going through happens to everyone. take care. <3
