[quote=Anonymous]I have a DD who is 14, responsible, would do what I told her, would check in with me on time, etc. And I still would not do this.

Why are people suggesting this to you, OP? Is it a matter of not having an adult at home to be with her while you are gone on this trip so this is essentially glorified babysitting by the hotel? Or is it someone's idea that your kid could be having fun as a tourist while you're working? How did this option even come up as a possibility?

Either way it's not a great idea to me. If your child stays in a hotel room for 8 to 14 hours at a time--that's a bore, even with all the room service, movies and iPad time in the world.

And it's a waste of your taking her if she goes there only to do what she could be doing anywhere else, namely, watching stuff, playing games and texting, and eating.

If, on the other hand, you tell her to go out there and hit the town solo at 13--She can be extremely mature and able to handle herself, but that doesn't mean it's all safe and fine for her to be out in a city with which she's not familiar.

OP, you say that the trip "turned out to be 14 hours a day" of work, which makes me think that this already happened and you're asking after the fact. Is that right? Just curious, if this already happened and you did or didn't take your kid, why you're posting after the fact, if that is the case.[/quote]
