I'm one of the posters who thinks that OP is on target in her concerns. We also are concerned if we have to leave one of our teens for a night/s while we are away. Primarily because we would not want other kids to show up and make the house party central. Certainly any of our children knows how to make a sandwich or spaghetti or omelettes or grill a steak or order pizza or whatever. And they could easily enough get themselves to one of the clubs and have dinner in any of the restaurants or go over to my sister's or to my folks' house for company.

The point I'm making is that it can be hard for people to be alone for an extended period of time (2-3 days) in their own house. In our house we have me, my husband, 5 kids, Dad, a caretaker for Dad and three dogs. I cannot tell you the last time I slept alone in our house. [b]I am not a Nervous Nelly[/b] by any means but to be alone in the house for 2-3 nights would make me antsy. I would want someone checking in with me at night and in the morning to make sure everything was okay even though I would be out and about during the day going to work or volunteering or even just lazing around.[/quote]

Oh my goodness.  It would not be hard at all for me to be in my own house alone for 2-3 nights, and I would not feel the least bit antsy.  You are totally a nervous nelly, which is fine, but cop to it.[/quote]
