I have a 16DD and 14DD. Same father but only the eldest visits/stays the night once a week. I have only one accessible babysitter but who doesn’t drive and doesn’t have space in their own house for DD14 to sleep. Either DD(s) would have to sleep on the floor at their house or they have to stay all night at mine (as can’t get themselves home).
I leave them alone during the day in the holidays, and evenings if I am working, have to go out (shops, swimming etc). They are fine alone during these times.
I have never left them overnight. I’ve been invited to my work Xmas do and this will be a late night or possible stay in a hotel about 10 miles away
I could ask the babysitter option but DD’s don’t feel they need one as they ‘old enough’ but is 14 old enough really? What would you all do
