[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the people saying no, will you let your child drive at 16?  Go to college at 18?  10 and 12 year old siblings alone in a hotel room?  Of COURSE that is okay!![/quote]

I am a poster that said no, I would not leave them alone in the room at 10 and 12 while I was miles away all day.

My kids are older and some are already adults.    Yes, they got their license at 16 and drove.    Yes, they went away to college at 18.

If 10 and 12 alone in the hotel room all day is ok, OP should make sure to let the front desk know she is doing it.   After all, OF COURSE it's okay--so why wouldn't she want everyone to know?[/quote]

It is ok for you 16 yr old to be left alone so do you also let the hotel know he is there alone because OF COURSE it is OK?

What are you talking about?  I've never left my 16 year old alone in a hotel.  Why would I?   If we are somewhere far enough away from our house that we need a hotel room, then we are out doing things (museums, parks, whatever.)  
I don't bring my kids to hotels to do their virtual school. [/quote]

Just because you haven't done so doesn't mean there wouldn't be a reason to do so.

There are times kids might be left alone in a hotel.  I left my 9 yr and 11yr olds alone in a condo and went off skiing. Kids were tired and done for the day, my husband and I wanted a few more runs. Really no big deal.
