We took a big leap of faith with our teenage son this weekend. We left him home overnight alone for the first time.
Wow, that would have scared me, how did it go?
It went great! He's such a responsible kid, and we felt confident he would treat our home with respect and wouldn't have a party or anything like that!
that's good I have 2 teenage daughters and dread the idea of leaving them by themselves
I don't blame you.  It's definitely hard to do. It's good for them to know that you are relying on them to do the right thing though.
