[quote=Anonymous]My oldest will turn 13 this week. He is home sick today, with a low grade fever, and just general tiredness. I took the day off. He may wake up fine tomorrow. In the event he needs another day of rest, I am wondering if 13 is too young to leave along for the day. He currently stays home about an hour after school, and we trust him. DH can come home during the day. We are just in a situation with little family nearby, and with 3 kids, and flu in December, I am almost out of leave (I get 12 days sick/personal combined). DH's company is announcing layoffs this week, so he cannot miss work. We are in VA, if there is some applicable law. I do have a few neighbors who can be on call for emergency. Of course, if he was really really sick, with a high fever, or flu or vomiting, I would never leave him.[/quote]
