HarryS, I think you can agree that assuming that all teenagers are alike is as wrong as assuming all adults are alike. That kind of laid-back, quiet environment is exactly what mine prefers. IDK how other folks raise kids, but I didn't raise mine to have to be entertained 24/7. The assumption that my young adult, or I guess any young adult, would somehow cause a ruckus and in someway ruin someone else's vacation or good time is patently untrue. Of course, I can only speak for mine. However, from experience, most people wouldn't even realize she was around.
