Alone at Home S01E04 - Episode 4

Single mother Alison, a nutritional therapist from Nottinghamshire, wants to see if leaving her four daughters for a long weekend will make them more self-sufficient. Alison worries that having raised the girls by herself for the past seven years she has over-compensated by doing everything for them, therefore keeping her daughters from developing the independence they need to become strong women. Anya, the eldest at 15, admits she's not very responsible and is often in 'dream world'. There's also 13-year-old Freya, and Isla, aged eight, and Evie, who is 10. Until now, Evie has spent only a few hours away from her mum. Alison is about to spend the longest time aprt from her girls. Can she stop worrying and will the sisters step up?
