Dear Queenie,
Soon my husband and I will be leaving our teenage son alone overnight for the first time ever. Our neighbors will keep an eye on him but we have been wondering whether we should let his girlfriend’s parents, who we have never met, know that he will be alone in the house.
Queenie, should we give them a call?—Concerned parents
Dear Parents,
Yes, give the girlfriend’s parents a call, introduce yourselves, suggest that you would like to meet them sometime soon, and explain what the situation will be with your son. If you were in their place, wouldn’t you want to know?
