So we moved into a new house about 4 weeks ago, front door latch is a bit dodgy and will sometimes stick meaning you have to check that it is shut properly and if not give it a jiggle. We know it needs replacing but it does still work as long as you check and there are other jobs that are more pressing so we haven't got around to it yet.
DStepS (13) is staying this weekend, went out today - left at lunch time and came back about 6pm so several hours. When we got back the front door was wide open - Nothing has been taken fortunately. DSS was the last one out and clearly didn't check the door. He has been told before that the lock is dodgy and needs checking (the last time he was reminded was actually yesterday!)
DH is all very much "well no harm done" but I feel that was more luck than anything else and we could have come back to find our new house robbed!
AIBU to expect a 13 year old to be responsible enough to check a front door is shut properly when leaving the house? Particularly as he was reminded of this yesterday? Or should I have reminded him again or gone back and checked myself?

AIBU?
AIBU to think he is old enough to have checked the door?
