A mum has divided opinions online after sharing plans to leave her 16-year-old son at home while the rest of the family go on holiday. Explaining the predicament on internet forum Mumsnet, she wrote that her son will be 16 and a half years old next year and he does not want to join the family on their trip away, the Mirror reports.
Although she doesn't want her son to be left at home, she believes he will be able to manage just fine for the week. Asking for advice from fellow users, the mother wrote: "Dear son insists he doesn't want to go on holiday with us next year. He'll be 16 and a half.
"I don't want to leave him as I think it's too young. He's mature for 16 but doesn't cook (younger child and dear husband have food allergies so the adults cook), he knows how to make oven food like pizza/nuggets etc so wouldn't starve.
