Her kid is not an 8th grader. She said she would put her kid to sleep. Do you put your 13 y/o to sleep? No. OP’s child is way younger. Your kids are fine.

Okay but literally what are you afraid is going to happen

I honestly think bored women are trying to be dramatic about this. It’s NBD.

It must be, because none of them will explain how exactly they think Paul the night auditor is going to kidnap their kids

🤣🤣
Seriously.

I believe in your case, your children would be better off with you not there.

Yes, I believe you think that. Good luck with all that.

I saw people arguing this on another, similar thread and I find it so surprising because I travelled for sport and activities in high school, plus went on a few short overnight trips with friends when I was 17, and stayed in hotels with other underage kids and it was fine. We were super responsible and I didn't drink or do drugs in high school at all so that wasn't a concern or factor. I would have been absolutely fine at 14-17 staying in a hotel room alone while my parents were in the lobby or hotel restaurant. Probably even fine at 13 if an older sibling was there.

It's just odd to me that you wouldn't give your child these opportunities to test out adult responsibility and freedom in small doses so that when they turn 18 and/or go away to school, they aren't completely overwhelmed or incapable of handling it. That honestly sounds a lot more irresponsible than leaving a 12-year-old alone in a hotel room while you are still in the same building (even if that does sound a little young to me).

I’m not gonna have my kid travel for sports like that. I can test their responsibility at home. And absolutely not living an older teenager in a hotel room alone. They will sneak out. You’re lucky there wasn’t a trash bag in your peer group.

Np. Curious about what kind of human being refers to a child as a “trash bag”?

Lol. Ironically, it’s usually kids with crazy helicopter parents like you that sneak out.

The likelihood that anyone who has access to the room would access it is so close to zero there’s no sense worrying about it.

I didn’t say I was afraid of anything. But I have been in a hotel, asleep, and the fire alarms went off in the middle of the night. My kids slept through it. We had to wake them and carry them down the stairwell. I’m not saying this is common or likely to happen. But it would be pretty horrific if I were down in the lobby, could not ride elevator up to get child, child possibly sleeping through alarms/phone calls, feeling helpless.

Dramatic. 🙄🙄

Ironically, you are dramatic with your multiple posts aimed to provoke.
