A mum has divided opinion online by asking if her plan to leave her 16-year-old son at home while the rest of the family goes on holiday is a good idea.
Internet users were quick to remind the mother that some people live by themselves by that age, while others warned that she could be coming home to disaster, writes the Mirror. The mum was told by her son that he wasn't keen on the idea of a family holiday.
She didn't believe that he was old enough to stay home alone, but also didn't want to force the young boy to come along. Seeking some advice and reassurance she took to the popular message board Mumsnet.
