I just wanted to say how proud of my 17 year old son i am we took out 6 year old twins down to devon for a week and my os stayed at home to look after the cats, rabbit and chickens. He's never been home alone and i was a bit worried, so wrote out the daily care routine for all the animals and stuck it on the fridge. i phoned twice a day to see how he was and he did an amazing job, even washed up and did the recycling

That's great, what a lovely boy he sounds .

 

I have a 17 year old too and he surprises me sometimes with his thoughtful and caring ways .

Well done your son, good to hear he was safe to be left alone

 

Not like when I was 17 and my parents went away and left me at home. I had a party, broke my mums lounge table and my parents were finding peanuts in strange places for months after. I was a bad bad daughter

my mum & dad would never have left me home alone we're very lucky with him. his idea of fun is his ps3 and his computer and he loves the chooks, and often worries about them more than i do

BAD Debs!! I had a jelly fight at my boyfriends mums house once whilst they were in the dining room (BIG house) having a dinner party - when she bought the empty plates out jelly dripped on her head from the ceiling - we got very told off!!

 

Anyway, Well done to Ness3103's son, just goes to show all that hard slog in the upbringing is worth it in the end!

Well done Ness3103's son. How refreshing.

 

Some neighbours went on hol a few weeks ago and the children had a party. You can guess the rest. I posted on the forum about it....riot vans, arrests, the place trashed. Children grounded till 2015.

Children grounded till 2015.

 

What? Only till quarter past eight? Let off lightly.

I seem to remember similar when I was about 16. House survived, dogs all survived, dad's freinds ferret did not (old age, am pretty sure, as was really careful with it.... but I felt SO guilty!)

Thats good to hear. I frequently leave my 18 year old at home now. He knows he can't get away with too much as my neighbour always tells me whats been going on. Most of the time they're fine and they just sit out in the garden chatting etc.

 

I just wish my herbs weren't always dead by the time I get back. They are on the kitchen window sill, right next to the sink, why can they just not pour a bit of water on poor old Basil!
