[quote=Anonymous]16.5 year old has stayed home alone for one night at a time. Super responsible kid, I'm not worried about him at all. One we've done one night a few times, we'll gradually start opening it up to 2-3 nights. He'll be a senior next year, so I kind of see it as a transition year to start getting him ready to move out. I'm surprised by the people who say not until college. I think that would have really freaked me out, to move out completely into a dorm without ever having spent a night by myself first. If you're worried about the kid - or worried about others taking advantage of his situation - won't those still be issues when they leave for college? I'd be more worried about the kid going nuts at college - or even just forgetting / getting lazy about details like locking the doors at night - if they've never had that kind of independence before.
