Leaving 15 dd overnight

[HowdoIgetbacktothe80s]

Sorry the title is a bit misleading as I’m not leaving her on her own but just wondering if it’s a bit off to do so?
Dh and I have just purchased a touring caravan.
We have a rescue dog who is very nervous with new situations so we are slowly introducing him to the caravan and dh is having the occasional night sleeping in there with the dog (at the bottom of our garden) to get him used to it.
We want to start by having an odd Saturday night away, just half an hour or so away to get him used to being somewhere different before we have longer trips away.
The problem is that dd (15 next week) doesn’t want to come with us for these one nighters. She wants to stay at home with her 2 friends (they are all joining us on longer trips away and are looking forward to it).
It does say online not to leave under 16 year olds overnight. They won’t be completely alone though as 17 (nearly 18) year old ds still lives at home but he is always out and about and often stays round friends at the weekends, at last minutes notice, although if I asked him to stay at home overnight with them I’m sure he would (although I can’t 100% rely on him to do so!).
My sister and her partner live just around the corner from us so would also be a point of contact and my parents although elderly also live in the same village (mum has dementia so I can’t except dad to help too much but they are there just incase). So, I can rest assured there are people around should dd need anyone but it still leaves me a bit nervous. Dd is more than happy to stay at home with her friends (and there parents are fine with it) and she is a sensible girl.
Would you leave your 15 year old overnight in this situation, with family at hand?

Lol, no chance, I dread to imagine what I'd come back to. I definitely wouldn't want my house to be known to be empty and turn into a completely out of hand party venue.

Ironically that's more likely with older teens of say 17 years.
No with a 15 year old it's more the unlikely situation of something going wrong and them not having the ability to handle it.

Not a chance that would happen with my teen or his mates at this point anyway. As PP said far more likely to happen with older teenagers!

snowedinagain I have most certainly not out my dogs needs above my dd, if I was that type of person do you think I’d by asking on here?

Thanks everyone. For the first night away my sister is going to stay, just for the overnight hours just to be safe.
Dd and both her friends are very sensible and I wouldn’t imagine for a second they would have other kids over for a party and also ds would be there and he certainly wouldn’t allow that to happen but I will have dsis overnight for the first weekend away just to test the waters.

Yes I'd say it's fine.

I was left a lot at 15 with and without my 17/18yo sibling. It was fine. I watched Tv, we got pizza.

Yes I would as your sister lives nearby. Tell your DD she will drop by at some point to check everything is ok to help prevent them getting up to anything. I've done this with my DS and he was fine. Very similar circumstances.

Of course not they either go with u, or one of u stays at home with them.

Depends on personality - me at 15 would've done some music practice, made tea and watched telly. My sister however was left I think at 16 and uncle dropped in to find a house full of local teenagers getting pissed. You know your kids and local family members so it's a judgement call. If they're trustworthy together and you have family on hand then it should be fine.

Far enough. I remember the damage that happened to my mates house at age 15 when her mum went away for a few nights. I think her mum thought she was sensible and agreed she could have a couple of friends round. To be fair she was as sensible as she could be. No one obviously considered the amount of uninvited people who rolled up throughout the night. And being let in. The place got trashed. Really trashed.

more no than yes. Once maybe, but if it gets a habit, she will have a party or a boyfriend.

No I wouldn’t. I think it’s too young personally.

I've just checked OP and DH and I went away for a night when my DC were almost 18, almost 16 and just 14. I cannot recall what prompted it but better call SS now. Oh no wait, it was totally fine.

No one had a party. Those who think a 15yo will, firstly you don't know the OP's 15yo - maybe you know some daft teenagers but the OP (who will know, one would hope) says she is sensible; secondly, I would have thought an 18yo is far more likely to have a party - as they can buy drink and so can their friends (not that many 15yos are friends with 18yos IME). So would you also mot leave an 18yo on those grounds? If not, what age would you leave them?

I'm not stupid, I am aware that some teens do silly things. Two girls in DD's year had to go to hospital after drinking too much at a party when they were about 14 (host's parents were on site btw). DD was as shocked as I was tbh which is one way I knew I could trust her.

My brother and I stayed home alone for the first time when I was 14 and he was 13. It was a school night, so going to my dads was not an option (he lived far away from our school).
We had dinner with my dad, then he left, and we we absolutely fine and got ourselves to school the next day.

By age 16/17 we were home alone every single weekend, as my mom and stepdad were conducting a study somewhere 3 hours away. This went on for a bit over 2 years. We actually resented the end of the study and having them home every weekend afterwards😂
