re: OT parents- How old was your oldest child before you left them home alone overnight?

The wife is overreacting, isn’t she?

Yes.

My daughter is 10 and we leave her at the house if we need to go to the store if she doesn't want to come with.

We've never left her over night but I'd be 100% okay in her ability to manage. Not sure I'd do the same with the boys, they aren't/won't be as mature when they get that age. (10)

I'd say probably 13/14 minimum if they have a good head on their shoulders. 16 should be solid for anyone.
