[quote=Anonymous]At what age do you leave kids home alone all summer? I have 2 boys, 10 and almost 13. We have always had a summer sitter to take kids to swim practice, make lunch, hang out at home, go to movies on a rainy day and so forth. Pool is only a mile from home and the kids can bike there. With Covid we have left them home alone a good amount the past 2 years but not every day for 7 weeks. I don't love them playing outside with friends when there is no adult around in the case of an emergency. We both work outside the home about 30 min away. I am planning to have a sitter for part of the day this summer to cover swim practice and lunch. Then just have them stay alone from 2-5ish. At what point do I just have the older one watch the younger one? I was babysitting at 12 but my kid feels less mature.[/quote]
