[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In reference to OP, mom of the 14 yr old…not the 16 yr old tangent.. Can you leave a 14 yr 9ld home alone? Of course. But would you, you if they didn’t want to be left alone for whatever reason? No I wouldn’t. Comparing this to babysitting isn’t fair. It’s not the same. I babysit starting at 12, but I would get creeped out if I was at my own house all alone in the late evenings. Not scared enough I’d refuse or put up a fuss about it, but I can see where OPs kid is coming from. I would see if she could stay the night at a friend’s house. If not, and if she really didn’t want to be left home alone that long, I’d go to the ceremony and skip the reception. [/quote] Looks to me like you learned at 12 how to manage discomfort and calm your fears. Time for OP’s kid to learn that also. It’s crazy that some of you feel this way.[/quote]
