[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t leave them overnight at all. Someone responsible needs to stay at the house. You need to wait a few more years. You and DH can handle it.[/quote] Are you kidding me. Kid is almost 16 years old. There is something very, very wrong if a 16 year old cannot handle himself and watch his brother overnight. He will be in college soon! [/quote] I have boys these ages (15.5 and 13.5) and honestly the older one would be fine alone overnight- with close nearby friends available if he needs anything. Hasn’t come up yet, but I could see giving it serious consideration for one night. Not a long weekend though. But with his younger brother? No way. Two teen boys together is more problematic than one alone and siblings tend to squabble. Also I don’t think it is fair for the older one to be “in charge” for several days straight. Just a bad dynamic. [/quote]
