[quote=Anonymous]I guess you've already received a lot of replies- I wouldn't let your DD stay home at fourteen. It's too young and older sis will be at work, so little in the way of supervision. I agree with the pps that this should be approached respectfully but w/o the impression that you might back down. "Larla, we are going because we aren't leaving you home for four days. Let's put our heads together on how we can make this trip more pleasant for you." Cue anger, refusal, door slamming, etc. Also, OP, I would be reluctant to give my DC much unsupervised time if I knew he was depressed. What I wouldn't do is expect full participation- so, on this trip, I would be super gentle about my expectations, but I wouldn't leave her at home.[/quote]
