[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t let my kid under these circumstances OP. For that age, I there were probably a couple of DCs friends I would have been comfortable leaving home alone for short periods of time. But no as a regular thing. In this case, you might (correctly) think your kid would never dream up a scene that would get them in trouble. But you should also be comfortable that the kid who is hosting also has the maturity and common sense not to put your child in a dangerous or u comfortable situation.  And the other parent swell enough to know that they would not leave kids alone in their house unless they were sure it was safe. Letting a strange 7th grader come over when they are not home does not scream good judgment to me.

Defer or invite to your house until you get to know the kid and parent better. Then decide. 7th grade is a wide range of maturity and a wide range of rule follower vs rule breaker.  No matter how great your kid is, if the other kid is an immature rule breaker, you have a problem. [/quote]
