[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]

16, when they can drive and have a full time job.

You want your kids watching Tv every afternoon for 3 hours a day all summer? Really?? Hire a full time sitter or put them in camps. At 14 or 15 they can be counselors in training. Even at 16, I certainly hope you wouldn’t just let your kid sit around all day.[/quote]
