DS is 16 in March.
He has been comfortable being left at home during the day for a few years, and is on the whole fairly independent (weekends I don't see much of him, he buses to friends, organises and gets himself to sports events etc. Cooks his own meals, does his own washing etc. Has a job. He's very capable and sensible.
I have some night shifts coming up and whilst I can sort my younger children with sleepovers, it's proving tricker with him (we are very close to his school, he walks in). I also have a dog that I'm reluctant to leave overnight.
I would be gone from 19:15 to 8:45. He will need to get himself up and to school as he starts at 8:20.
Looking for opinions on if this is OK...
