[quote=Anonymous]OP there’s no one set age for this. We also work weird hours. I work 12s but not every day and spouse works 4-midnight. DD is 12 now and we started leaving her alone for 20 mins at 8. At 9.5 we would have left her for 2 hours now and again, but not every day 5 days a week. We have a dog and she’s fine being left, I just don’t think it’s fair every day. We still use a sitter now approx once a week because DD needs driving somewhere and she likes the company. Sitter will shoot hoops with her in the driveway, plays card games with her etc. it’s not so much a need now, but because DD is an only she likes the company of an older teen doing stuff with her.
