[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was a good, quiet respectful kid. At 15 I had my boyfriend over after school when my parents were not home. I don’t think they knew I had boyfriend. Are you going to watch her on the security cameras 24/7 and does she know where they are? No way would I let her stay home alone unless grandma promised to do pop in surprise visits and you tell her that. Probably still wouldn’t. [/quote]

Your posts shows why the boyfriend aspect isn't really an issue.  You were sleeping with your boyfriend and your parents didn't leave you alone at night.  There are security cameras and OP seems to trust her child.  If OP's child wants to sleep with her boyfriend, there are many more opportunities than this one night. At that age if my parents showed me they were placing trust in me, I'd go out of my way to not abuse the trust.  OP needs to emphasize the trust component and let her DD stay home.[/quote]

Um, no.  Kids will always find opportunities to do things they shouldn’t. Parents do not have to make it easy.  Overnights alone are asking for trouble.  Reread the other post where the police were called. [/quote]
