[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I agree with the not being constantly entertained. However, we are in the serious burbs. No public transportation. Nothing to walk to other than a playground. No other kids in the neighborhood. Like I said, I could see one or two days, but 20 is really a lot![/quote] Again, when I was 13, I was left home *all* summer, and I was absolutely not allowed to leave the house or have friends over while home alone. I was fine. I had chores and reading. That was pre-internet! And we were in the 'burbs (nothing to walk to other than a playground). As long as you have electricity and an internet connection, he'll probably spend some time messaging his friends. I would require chores to make sure he doesn't spend all of his time doing that. But really, I don't think it's that long for a 13 year old to be home alone. [/quote]
