Home Alone

[BrazilianBumBum]

When is this ok for overnight?
He assures me he is absolutely 💯 ok!!
Am I being over protective?
20 Min Taxi 🚕 in case of emergency!

He's 16 years 7 months!!

Do I snip the apron strings slightly, would you? #MumGuilt #CoParenting #MyBoy

Yes. I was going to university at 17.

16 years 7 months is fine too be left alone overnight.
People can vote at that age in some parts of the U.K.

I had left school and had a job at that age. He'll be fine!

Now admittedly it was 20+ years ago but I had a full time job and had left home to live with a friends family at that age.
When I was 15 I was left home alone while the rest of the family took a UK holiday I didn't want to go on. We had family living 10 min drive away in case of emergency

My mum used to do it all the time when I was that age...I mean I had a lot of parties but she still doesn't know about them and that's the important part. 😂

We went away for a weekend last year & left DS(16) at home. He just had his two mates round & they watched anime & had pizza.

Yes, it’s fine.

My parents went to Greece for a week when I was 17 and db was 13. Pre-mobile phones too!

He's
Definitely old enough!

I lived alone at 16

Of course it's fine.

Yes it’s fine. In fact, it should be part of training them to be an adult to leave them home alone now and then from 16+. Otherwise can be a big shock when they first move out and are on their own.
