[quote=Anonymous]I'm 39 with a 12 year old so....average I suppose. Was definitely doing drop off playdates at 8. By 10, I would leave him alone for 20 min. By 11, he could be alone for longer. We live in an incredibly safe area. There is.... absolutely zero concern of a break in. Our town hasn't had a non domestic crime in forever. DS actually devised our "fire plan" on the off chance there was ever a fire. I don't blame people for having different levels of comfort with leaving their kids alone, especially if they live in a questionable area. But staying for playdates would make me worried that you're passing on your anxiety to your kid. And that will become a problem. Eventually other kids won't want to hang out with the girl whose mom always has to be around. [/quote]
