[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 17 year old is going to London at the end of September to start college. We started leaving him alone at home for a few days at a time a few months ago. That way, he will come out of his room and enjoys his home because otherwise he stays holed up in his room. He has a summer job so that gives him some daily structure.
The fact that he is going abroad for college expedited the process of giving him more responsibility. I'm not worried about what he does at home; I'm more worried about the deep drinking culture in the UK.

This just sounds incredibly sad. Your son is going off to college in another country in a few months and instead of spending a lot of time with him or traveling together, you leave him for a FEW days alone repeatedly? And the only way he will come out if his room is if no one else is around his home? [/quote]

Sad to you but enviable and admirable to me. I feel sad for the overly coddled kids, if you dont let them breathe, they'll suffer from anxiety and dependence.[/quote]
