[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Basically never. [b]They are not allowed to do nothing for huge chunks of time. A day or two here or there? Sure.[/b] But for weeks on end? No.[/quote]

so at what age do you leave kids home without a sitter in the summer? [/quote]

Depends on the kid, not the season, but[b] they aren’t staying home all day,, multiple days in a row, ever. [/b][/quote]

so at 16 you still hire a sitter for kids?  I mean at some point "kids" are left home alone. when is that point?  Guidelines posted above suggest after age 13. [/quote]

No, but I don't leave them home alone ALL DAY for MULTIPLE DAYS IN A ROW. Can't you see that? I said it twice.[/quote]

I am not leaving town for the month, just going to work from 8-4. So full-time working parent with a 16 yr old should hire a sitter so they aren't home alone from 8-4 during the summer?   Seriously question, at what age do kids not have a sitter in the summer? [/quote]

I can't believe how dense you are. My kids are not allowed to stay home all day, all summer. They need to be doing something. Camp, work, summer school, some combo of the three. A full-time working parent with a 16 year old should have pushed that kid to get a job by the time they were 14. [/quote]
