[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents allowed me to stay in the house alone overnight when I was 15. My grandmother lived down the street and kept an eye on me, so I wasn’t truly unsupervised. I told a friend that my grandmother had evening plans, the friend told her older brother, and they showed up with a bunch of friends and a case of beer and some pot. I was not mature or assertive enough to tell them to go the hell away. I was humiliated to get “caught” but I’m glad my grandmother came home and handled it. [/quote] This is exactly what I’d worry about happening. Your kid could be the best one around, but can he handle a situation like this? If some older kids come by and wreck the place or the cops are called, your 14 yr old will feel terrible that he “let” it happen— when really he was just too young to know how to handle the situation. I wouldn’t want to do that to my kid.[/quote]
