To old for a babysitter

I am 16 years old. My mom thinks I need a babysitter when she and dad over night not at home.

How do I explain to her that I don't need that anymore now that I'm 16? She's very old-fashioned and very strict.

Have you ever given them any reason to believe that you are not mature enough to spend a night alone in the big house? All those scary noises for a whole night by yourself?

@TheSandman01 No, not really, but I think it's safer if you're not all alone

Yes, it would be safer. And if you are uncomfortable, having another person there with you is always a good idea. 👍
