Just musing on differing parenting styles really, my friend's dd is 13.5 and when my friend and I go out she still either hires a babysitter if her dh isn't around, or we can't go out till her dh is back from work. We normally just go to the pub which is next to my house and across the road from hers.
I was a lot more laid back with my ds, leaving him for an evening when we were just elsewhere in the village from 11, but if we were going any distance away from 12.5 iirc.
Is it usual to get a babysitter for a 13.5 yr old or was I just a lax parent?
