I know this person is probably a troll BUT... not everyone's parents are going to be willing to drive their stuff to the mountain in the morning and not get pissed off that their child is off doing something else and not travelling with them. Some people get pissed off over every minor detail or anything you do that's slightly different to the plan they have in their heads about what their vacation will be like. I've been on vacations where it would be a major argument to be allowed to go and run 20-30 mins most days, and no, it wasn't a safety issue as these places were safe and running alone as a high school girl wasn't a problem. It is because family are PISSED OFF that you want to go and run.
THIS is exactly how I feel about my own family. They get mad that I am good at something and am so staunchly dedicated. They take the fact that I'd rather run and get good as a personal insult. I never mean to offend with my running but they still get mad (just like everyone else has on this board).
