You're a bitch. Really. This was unnecessary.

Every parent and kid is different. 95% kids that age have or would be able to stay home along. Some would not. For many reasons. Just answer the damn question and shut your mouth.


Perhaps you should have put that energy into raising your infant into an adult instead of cussing out people on parenting boards.

OP, two suggestions, actually one with different approaches.

1. He has a friend stay with him at your house.
2. He stays with a friend at their house.


Really?? What about college?


Obviously mommy and daddy will move in with him.


This makes me so scared for our future.

I hear you but this could be a safety solution.

If there's no conversation or judgement about where one goes, maybe it's not so bad.

Exact same thought that I had


If this is the thought you had, then you need to enroll in a class in kindness.

Great suggestions! I am the PP about someone having him to dinner or breakfast. And I agree with you that all the PPs voicing opposition to OP's concerns probably are either not parents yet or parents of little ones. But I love your idea of a friend staying over or him going to a friend's house!

He's 18 and you've never left him alone overnight? My parents started leaving me alone overnight at 15.

That does not mean the parents are not stuck with consequences to their home ..
