And the flaw I see in the post about the dream about running out of
fuel is --- why didn't you take some precautions not to run out of
fuel? Like not going as far, or taking extra.

I would add that there's a BIG difference between a premonition that
Something Bad is going to happen and just a general feeling that your
kids are "too young" for things.

I'm not sure I believe in pemonitions/precog. dreams, but if you have
one and DO believe in them, it makes sense to trust them. In that case,
you would not allow something that otherwise you WOULD allow.

That is not the case he the father does not think a 9 yo is old
enough to go with another family for a week, and it has nothing to do
with a premonition that something will go wrong -- it is just general
discomfort with that amount of independence and freedom.


And why did you want to put yourself in harm's way when you were sure
they were going to be in danger. What good would it do for you to die
too? If I couldn't dissuade someone from doing something I thought
would be dangerous, and I really believed it was life threatening, I
certainly wouldn't go WITH them.

There have been times when dh has talked me into doing something (on
our boat) that was not a good idea. But even though I was correct
that we should not have gone, I never had any fear that the boat could
not carry us through safely. Otherwise, I would have gotten off the
boat and refused to go.
