At what age would you allow your son or daughter to stay by their own?

I think it all depends on the person & what their life is like. If a person is under 18 but working, then there's no reason they cant support themselves & live alone. I know older people who are single & still live at home, in fact i had a friend who got married but still stayed at home with her husband & parents just to help them save up for their own place. I think cultures vary a lot with what happens with children & what children do when they hit a certain age. Some cultures believe it's ok for a parent to move back in with their grown children & have their kids support them in the older years which is only ok in some cultures - here it's not like that but they're all different. I guess maturity plays a big part in this question as well, if a child isn't mature enough then it's a different but still, when it comes to parents, they really don't have much of a say in their child's life once the child becomes an adult & needs to become independent.

hi we leave our daughter at home for a few hours she is 13 ,we did ask others and they said it was ok

Once a child reaches 16 they are legally able to make this decision themselves. That being said I hope that my children won't want to move out that young. My children will be able to live at home as long as they are either in school or contributing to the family. I know people with grown children who live at home with no job (and no desire to get one) and neither my husband nor I would accept that.
