My dad let me be at home alone consistently around 14, but only because of necessity really. He worked nights and didn't want to hire a babysitter for a teen.

My mom was hit and miss for a long time, because instead of letting me watch the siblings (eventually she did) or let me do my thing she let the other kid's babysitter walk all over myself and one of my my sisters.

Her and her BF threw homophobic comments all the time, and they both berated myself and before mentioned sister. She treated me like crap when I was having a medical issue, basically told me to shut up, and didn't actually do anything about it. Literally said I could tell my mom when she got home and deal with it until then. She didn't feel like she was responsible for me because I was older, but also felt like it was okay to boss me around too.
