^Sanity. It’s refreshing.

yes, by 12 or 13. Depends on the kid, too, and the setting. We left DS in our room at Disney while we went down the hall to the lobby, had a drink and sat by a fire. He had his phone, and was in a 1 bedroom suite. He was fine.

Even if they're sleeping? What are you going to do - gaze adoringly at their sleeping form for three hours before you go to bed yourself?

Your argument is really weird and gave me the creeps.

^Because you have creepy thoughts.

The creepy thought was your weird idea and you got called out for it.

That wasn’t me, sparky. I am just a passerby who thinks you see creepiness because you have creepy thoughts.

Ok, sparky, when one reads something creepy, yes, you comprehend it as creepy. Thanks for stopping by weirdo.

🤣🤣
You’re such a dork.

Wow, you got me there.

Agree, it’s fitting.

You just keep getting better.

I know.

Bless your heart.

Who calls someone a dork? I heard that in school and maybe once or twice from my kids. But an adult using it in a disagreement?

No worries. I’m sure dorky PP hears it all the time.

The dipsomaniac who likes to use the ^ obviously needs a drink badly.

This makes no sense. Any child who is old enough to be left alone at night in a hotel room isn’t going to bed so early. I can’t imagine a scenario in which my early teen would be asleep and I’d still be awake and interested in having a drink. Betcha 10 bucks OP has an 8 or 9 year old. Too young, OP.

My husband and I left our sleeping teen/tween (13 and 10) in the hotel room while we were on vacation last week so we could get a late night work out in in the fitness center a floor up. Never even occurred to me that this would be a problem. What exactly do y'all think is at risk of happening? Our 13 year old will go to NYC in June for an 8th grade class trip and they stay in hotel rooms without chaperones in the room. If she can handle a whole three nights with three other 13/14 year olds, I think she can handle a few hours?!

Rational people agree with you.

If you need to go to a bar to have sanity, you have bigger issues.

Her kid is not an 8th grader. She said she would put her kid to sleep. Do you put your 13 y/o to sleep? No. OP’s child is way younger. Your kids are fine.

Yeah. Literally no one said that.
