this sounds silly but i'm concerned about her being at home whilst we are on holiday, has missed out on college this year, [didn't get her student loan sorted in time] and will be working usual two days a week, [not likely to get extra hours], she will be staying at her nans [she's elderly] but in the past has spent more time at home than at nans whilst we are away. she is bright but very scatterbrain, doesn't lock the front door behind her, leaves windows open when she goes out - you get the picture, her sibs will be a college/ school so are out during the day. have had problems in the past when she has come back and her sibs were out and we were away. a friend came round, they went out locked themselves out and had to climb through the open kitchen window !
in the past she has been at college whilst we've been away so we've pretty much known what has been happening as a sib has usually been at home, so this time is an unknown quantity. nan is housebound and there is noone we can ask to check discreetly on things. it is putting me off going and my dh, although concerned is getting irritated with dd [hasn't told her] and, understandably a bit with me.
i need to get a grip or better still get some advice, feel quite stressed but please tell me if ibu about my concerns, but they are very real. i don't want to go on holiday because of this now.
AIBU?

If any adult staying in my home kept forgetting to lock doors/windows - therefore invalidating the insurance, I certainly wouldn't be chilling out either 
Then again, I'd take their key away and tell them they'll be staying with Nan or a friend or someone until they can learn to be responsible.
