[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hang on, your daughter who is 12 years old was scared of the dark or being alone?? I mean, I probably wouldn’t tease her but jeez.  [/quote]

Plenty of 12 year olds are scared or the dark and being on their own. She is totally normal. And him teasing her about it was probably a way to make her feel less scared in a weird way. No one did anything wrong but this is not a good arrangement and she is not ready to be on her own.[/quote]

It wasn't dark. OP said her DD would be home alone for max 2 hours until going to the bus stop at 8. I wake up at 6, it's getting to be daylight. By 6:20, the time DD went to the neighbors, it's plenty light outside.

PPs need to stop saying it's normal for a 12 yo to be scared at home alone during the day, because it's really not. It means you've instilled in your DC there's something dangerous about it or that they can't handle it. The normal 12 yo is not scared. It's something you need to work on to increase independence, not just accept.[/quote]

You are truly insuferable and not normal yourself.

I'm not OP and its perfectly normal for 12 years olds to be afraid to be on their own. I moved to a different country without my parents at 17 but didn't want to stay on my own. You're just weird and wrong. It has nothing to do with independence or growing up.[/quote]
