[quote=Anonymous]My older girls have been spending 1 hour alone every once in a while since they were 7 and 9. They are both very responsible and our nanny lives in the basement so they were not technically alone (though she was not watching them, I’d always ask if she was home). Even with my two very responsible daughter, they opened the door for a Pepco employee. Nothing happened of course, but I was very upset and worried when I found out. The eldest told she told the man that our nanny was home (which I guess it’s true), but the basement is a completely separate apartment and not connected to the rest of the house. Now they promised they won’t open the door for anyone and disregard mail man and delivery people. In the end we can only protect them so much and I believe the kids need to become responsible for themselves sooner rather than later.[/quote]
