conulyHome Alone 13
We just learned that our 13-year-old son has to go back to school a week early for soccer camp. I think he’s responsible enough to stay in our apartment alone for the week, while the rest of the family stays at my parents’ beach house. My wife adamantly disagrees. You?
SOCCER DAD
I (adamantly) agree with your wife. I love the beach as much as the next person, but so many things could go wrong in a week that even a mature 13-year-old would be ill-equipped to handle. Don’t put him in that position. Does he have a friend on the team he could stay with for a few days? He may be up for that — your wife, too.
