[Dazed]

I always feel better when there are 2 together at home, rather than 1 on their own. I would leave 2 x sensible almost 17yr olds at home together.

My older 3 are very sensible (almost 18, 19 & 22) and I have left them at home together for the first time and headed to Florida for 19 nights with the youngest 2. My mum lives down the road and is texting each day to check on them as they want to be independent and look after themselves. My eldest has lived on her own, 19 year old has done a year at uni. I still worry about them though and check on them daily.
