[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t do it until my child was[b] well into adulthood.[/b]

I was left alone at 15/16 overnight. I was very mature and very independent and always had been  for my age, no parties planned or anything like that.

We lived in a super safe suburban neighborhood with no crime in a large single family home. Honestly I was scared out of my mind being alone in the house overnight by myself. Every single little noise that never would have bothered me freaked me out. I was surprised myself at how scared I was considering I stayed alone many times later at night. Overnight it was just a different ballgame. I was too embarrassed to admit how freaked out and scared I was to stay alone overnight to anyone bc my mom was always bragging about how  mature and independent I was and 
didn’t want anyone to think less of me. And I was mature and independent for a teen but I was still a teen and not an adult.[/quote]

"Well into adulthood?"  By that time, won't they already be living on their own?[/quote]

Yes, and then the liability is all on them; before 18 anything that goes wrong is on you.[/quote]
