[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm going on a 4-day work trip in two weeks and I'm a single parent. My kid recently got their license and is pretty responsible- do you think it's fine if they stay by themselves while I'm away? This would be the first time they are alone for more than one night, but they are totally fine with it. I'm a little nervous, but they can drive and I don't have to worry about them trashing the house or anything. What do you think?[/quote]

No, because, SM.  All it takes is one "friend" to announce "no adults at 123 Street, party tonight," and your house is done for.[/quote]

This would never happen where we live, among my DS friends and acquaintances. He is not interested in partying and drinking, would not want it and he would call the cops. The number of kids who are into partying and drinking where we live is a small minority. His friends are mostly from his sport and they just don’t do those things.

Where do you people live that this would happen?
I suspect it’s actually the wealthy areas… makes me glad we missed the boat on buying in those areas.

If I was gone, yes, my son would have his GF over. But she would not spend the night or lie to her parents. Whatever they would do, they are already doing anyway.[/quote]
