[quote=Anonymous]My 13 yr. old DD will be out of school from 12/21 to 1/2 for the holiday break and while she would love to stay home alone doing nothing this is not acceptable to me. I'm looking for a winter program or something to place her in but everything seems to be during the evenings. Rather than hiring a babysitter to watch her, what can I do? FWIW she was home alone most of the summer and breached my trust big time by playing with matches and lying (I saw the ashes in the trash and matches on the counter). DH thinks its fine for her to do nothing and suggests that we let her have sleepovers - 2 teens playing with matches and God knows what else is NOT happening in my household.

She is also struggling in math and could use some math tutoring during the break but DH and I both work fulltime so it needs to be an all day program. I could leave work early and work 1/2 day at home but (1) he's just started a new job and can't take any time off and (2) I just came off of maternity leave and all my leave has been used up.

Any suggestions?[/quote]
