[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t do it for a slightly different reason. If something unexpected went wrong (fire, severe allergic reaction) and your younger child died or was permanently injured, that’s a huge emotional burden to put on your older child. Even though you wouldn’t normally expect a preteen to have the judgment of an adult, that’s what would be needed if something went wrong, and they’d potentially have to live with the guilt of having killed or maimed their younger sibling. Yes, it’s unlikely to happen, but it doesn’t seem entirely fair to take that risk on your older child’s behalf. There’s no judgement here and it’s Just something I’ve been thinking about myself.
