She's 15.8 for goodness sake. Dh thinks I was Grin

We're in England, she's legally able to get married in 4 months and I was only downstairs . . .

Ha ha your dh is being so precious.

I'm guessing she is able to operate a phone and text you if she wonders where you are.

No. If she is 15 I am assuming you would have had to sit looking at her till at least 12 before she decided to get up. You could quite possibly go out and do a bit of sight seeing too before she decides to get up!

Thought DD was a baby! In which case yes!

But nearly 16! No no no!

She's 15, she could easily sleep forever. You'd be dead of starvation.

Was it a full English? It'd be a brave DH that tried to stop me getting to that.

Hahaha it was delicious with extra sausage which I smuggled into a plastic bag and she ate sitting in bed whilst frowning at me

I think it's crazy how protective some people are, I'd maybe not do in in some foreign hell hole

And he didn't stay with her as he wasn't with us

Oh there were also two mini croissants

Like everyone except your husband, I think you were extremely reasonable.

What was he worried about?

He should be telling your daughter off for not getting up and keeping you company at breakfast and also for losing out on the breakfast and putting you through to stress of smuggling food out to her!!!

She's 15!!!!!!

Last week we left our 12 year old & 10 year old whilst we went to the bar for a last drink.

When we went abroad dd had her own room key & was free to go by the pool, in the room or in the reception area during the day as she pleased.

Good grief. Is he serious?

God, at nearly 16, absolutely not! if it had been a very small child then yes, I would have said YWBU but she's a teenager! Your DH is being daft.

Have you/he never left her at home or let her go to the shop on her own?

Why is he upset specifically about her being left in a hotel room?

Well in a few months she can check into a hotel by herself if she wants to..

Surely you've left her alone previously? Does she not at least take her herself to and from school? Seems a strange thread to start tbh as it' s bizarre that you and dh would even have such a conversation. I thought she was going to be about 2.

I LOVE hotel breakfasts. Did they have lots of fresh fruit and those tiny almond croissants? Freshly squeezed orange juice and strong coffee. Lovely!
