[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 118722, member: 3626"] Maybe it is time to let him grow up a little and start trusting him? Have someone go by and check the house. Maybe have a friend call him to see if needs anything since he doesn't have a car. Yes, he may have a party while you're gone. It seems to be a rite of passage for kids nowadays. It may not be what you want to have happen (if it does), but it's certainly not the end of the world. Better yet, talk to him and see what he wants. Give him the options -- stay home alone, have a friend stay with him, stay with someone else. If he wants to stay with someone else, let him make the arrangements. If he opts to stay home alone, give him the rules, some money for emergencies and trust him. If he wants to have someone stay with him, you have approval rights and, again, give him the rules, etc. [/QUOTE]
