[quote=Anonymous]Started in MS for DD but her younger brother still went to after school care.  The after school care program they were in had a rule where kids could attend through the summer after graduating 5th grade.

The rule was she had to call as soon as she was home, lock the door, and was only allowed in the backyard, but not in the pool.  No friends were allowed over, even for schoolwork, until a parent was home.  She was usually home alone from around 3:45-5:30ish when DH got home.

We had cameras installed the summer before DD went to HS just because I remember the crazy stuff I did in HS at my house after school with no parents present.  My phone alerts me when the door is opened and I can check in to see who's arriving home.  Now that they're 14 and 16 they can have friends over but not upstairs (no cameras up there).  They both know that I check the cameras from work and haven't abused the lax rules we have about having friends over yet.  I'd much rather have a messy house from a group of teens than have my kids off at someone else's house unsupervised.  Like I said, I remember the pow-wow's in HS at the end of the day to figure out whose parents were gone and gone the longest.  :D   [/quote]
