That does not mean the parents are not stuck with consequences to their home ..

He's 18 and you've never left him alone overnight? My parents started leaving me alone overnight at 15.

Jesus what the fuck is wrong with you people?

You job was to take a baby and turn it into a man. You have failed.

I'm guessing a lot of the PP's have kids who are like...5. Just wait a few years and you'll be thinking the same thing.

OP, two suggestions, actually one with different approaches.

1. He has a friend stay with him at your house.
2. He stays with a friend at their house.

I'd bet that some of her anxiety is about the probability that the house will turn into a weekend party house with kids coming and going all night long drunk and stoned.

Naked girls all over the front lawn and the police making frequent visits.

Great suggestions! I am the PP about someone having him to dinner or breakfast. And I agree with you that all the PPs voicing opposition to OP's concerns probably are either not parents yet or parents of little ones. But I love your idea of a friend staying over or him going to a friend's house!

lol

and baby outfits, baby toys

no baths. he might drown.

You're a bitch. Really. This was unnecessary.

Every parent and kid is different. 95% kids that age have or would be able to stay home along. Some would not. For many reasons. Just answer the damn question and shut your mouth.

If this is the thought you had, then you need to enroll in a class in kindness.

I hear you but this could be a safety solution.

If there's no conversation or judgement about where one goes, maybe it's not so bad.

Perhaps you should have put that energy into raising your infant into an adult instead of cussing out people on parenting boards.
