[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 605321, member: 14557"] Hmm. My easy child doesn't yet drive, because the legal limit is 18 around here. However he just recently turned 17 and he has been alone home several times also over weekends. A week alone has been the longest time. Our in-laws live near by but still. He has had a permission to have five or less friends over during us being away. Our difficult child we let to move alone three hours away when he was 17 an to live without adult supervision (except occasional house checks by his team officials to make sure the flat was cleaned at least once a month or so.) I know many, who have let their sons move when 16. Both have flown abroad alone before the age of 18. easy child is your averagely reliable teen boy, difficult child is impulsive, very young to his age socially and emotionally and very prone to stupid stunts. Both have managed independence of being home alone (over night) well from early teen years on. You can keep your GD in short leash and then cut it at once soon, but if she is a normally developed teen, she should be well able to stay independently home few days by now. If not, she will be in major trouble a year from now, when she is likely to move out from home to go to college. [/QUOTE]
