No. I just think 15 is too young even for a very responsible kid. A couple more years and I think it would be fine.
Do you know a responsible college kid that could stay with her? |

| With responsible DC, yes. I believe I mentioned to the neighbor (friend) too. |

Exactly. I think some parents secretly live through their teens sex lives. Like they secretly hope their kids are acting like rabbits while they are away for the weekend. The type of parents that provide condoms and lubes a little too freely to their teenage kids. |

Are you frakking insane? Do you actually know anyone like this, or just watch too much tv? Good lord. I would let 15 year old, but I think I'd be comfortable with only one night. |

My parents did this with a much younger sibling. She invited a “few” friends over. Someone posted party at her house on social media. Hundred or so people later...and a LOT of MIPs were given out
Bad bad idea OP |

| Sure, I have a responsible kid, we have cameras, so would be able to see if anyone came over. I'd have my neighbor keep an eye on things. In 2022 I don't see how a teen could get away with a party like we did! |

| OP, she is fully capable of being home alone. You are very foolish if you think you can anticipate all of her actions though. |

I have an amazingly responsible 15-year old and also a similar college freshman girl. The answer is no. Yes, it would probably be fine. Still, go with your gut, no. |

I find it sad how many of you don't trust your kids. My parents left me at home for a weekend occasionally when I was in high school. It was fine. I never had parties, never had sex "all over the house". I might have had a friend or two over to keep me company, but that was okay with my parents.
If OP finds her kid to be responsible and trusts her, then why shouldn't she? Especially if there are people she can call if there's an emergency. |

| I guess I’m glad my son is geeky and hasn’t started dating yet. No worry that he’s going to invite his girlfriend over to have sex. Probably would play online video games with his friends like usual. |

Depends on the kid, her friends, and the neighbors. Do you have neighbors that will let you know if she has people over? Do you have neighbors so can go to for help if needed?
I might try one night before you do a full weekend, |

| It’s sad how many helicopter parents there are. 15 is old enough for 2 days alone. |
