My daughter is 13 soon.


No way I'm leaving her alone at night without supervision.


Not because she's immature or might burn the house down, but because the world is just too ugly a place to take such a chance like that in this day and age.


Even if I lived in a snazzy neighborhood, just, no.


No way in hell I could enjoy myself on a night out wondering if my child is safe.


Frankly, in my eyes 13 is still very much a child, "teen" has barely just entered your age category, so IMO its very irresponsible leaving a 13 year old alone at home.
