take pictures of he and his date before the prom
Let me provide a little background and maybe someone could she some light on this, because I truly don't understand where he's coming from.
OK--DS is 17 and this is his junior prom. He's been saying that he was going to prom, but I never heard anything definite. Well, a few weeks ago he starts to "go out" with a girl that goes to the high school across town and is a sophomore. He never actually tells us this, but DD knows and share with us.
The night before the last day to buy prom tickets, they break up (again DD tells us this) and he agrees to go with a "friend" (who is a girl). He doesn't tell me any of this but instead asks for $ the next morning for his ticket and tells me he's going as friends with someone. We go pick out the tux, yada, yada, yada and I ask if he's going to bring her here to take pics. He says no, but I think he's semi-kidding and will come around. So tonight the girl's mom calls and invites us to another girl's home for group pics, etc. I tell DS this and he says he absolutely does not want us to go and I know he's not kidding. I try to ask him why and he just keeps saying because he doesn't want us to. I don't know if he's embarrassed of us or embarrassed of her (he declined a previous invitation from her to a different dance last year) or what it is. All I know is I want pics of my baby going to prom. DH thinks we should just respect his wishes (though we may not even have a choice) and not make a big deal of it.
Though I highly doubt it, has anyone else had this experience with their kids? DD LOVED this kind of stuff and ours was always the house all the kids gathered at.

I was thinking the same thing, you can take pix of him alone at home. I guess it must be a boy thing, I wanted my mom there but she wasn't
I will ask DS once more and if he REALLY doesn't want us to come, I'll ask one of the other moms to take pics, I guess. I'll take the ones of him at home at least and see how the rest goes. I don't know--I guess I won't go to the girls' house.
