[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you leave an 8 year old and a 10 year old home alone together from 6:30-8pm? I’d let them watch tv so [b]my guess is they wouldn’t leave the couch.[/b] But they fight sometimes and the 10 year old can be mean to his younger sibling occasionally. Would leave them with a phone for emergencies and iPad to text us. [/quote] No child sits on a couch for 1.5 hours straight, not even if you put on their favorite movie. If that's your whole plan, you need to come up with a better one that accounts for all the possible ways they could get up to trouble. I'm not saying they can't be left alone safely, just that you need to have 20 back up plans and safeguards in place.[/quote]
