ppw is definitely the time to bring extended family and friends, in my opinion. its a long time until thanksgiving.



I agree. I was one of those whose girlfriend came with my parents and sister.

Just remember though, that the poor Plebe is coming off one challenge and beginning another. Don’t smother him with lots of questions, etc. See my other thread. Be there, have fun, enjoy the company, and sho interest, but respect the fact that this is the first period of normalcy the poor kid has seen in five or six weeks.

Oh, and Plebers? If your significant other comes along, please don’t ignore your parents. That’s not good, either. Fair is fair.

Ask me how I know. Not the proudest moment of my life. My dad (who never, ever, learned the lessons taught in my Parents Advice thread) left that weekend VERY upset with me. :rolleyes:

ETA: I, for one, wouldn’t miss I-Day for my kid no matter what she thought about it. I’d crawl across the country to be there, if I had to.
