One of my DD's best friend, just turned 16, is quite often left at home on her own overnight whilst her mum stays at her boyfriends house. This is not something I would be happy about doing myself but is it really as bad as I think it is or do I just need to chill out. The girl is quite happy with this and seems quite sensible and has not been in any trouble as far as I know.I stopped my dd15 from sleeping over when the mother is not there (which I only found out about by chance) as I worry about everything - too much for my own good, in fact. I am tempted to accuse the mother of being irresponsible and selfish but is that too harsh?
What does everyone think?
