[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow I was thinking of letting my 3rd grader next year do exactly that and I work out of the home. We have a home phone, alarm system and huge dog. Also, my neighbors are home and great people. Not sure if we're going to do it yet. [/quote]

A neighborhood 3rd grader does this. He is probably in no danger but seems very lonely judging by how he follows the other kids and parents around, knocks on doors, and mopes in front of his house. It does make the rest of the parents on the block feel responsible for him. [/quote]

Then why not let him hang with you/your kids? You sound like Scrooge.

(No, I'm not referring to my kids. When I'm  not home, they have to stay inside.)[/quote]

Yes believe me I feel a lot of guilt so you can call me Scrooge if you want. But my children often don't get along with him, I find him manipulative and difficult too, and I also feel resentment that I should be a default babysitter because I am home after school. [/quote]
