[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And of course no mention of dad...[/quote]

She's 55. Dad might be dead. Or 5 years into 30 year old Wife #2. Or he's 59 and afraid to take vacation because the staff in his office are irresponsible. Or she's a single mom by choice who can afford a week-long beach rental --and with two ES age kids and two dogs, she deserves 45 min alone.[/quote]

So what she can afford to vacation alone? What does that have to do with how much sense she has? Clearly not much - she left her two young children home alone in a vacation rental.  What if Laquisha (in the projects) or Brandy (in a trailer park) had done this? Does your opinion change?

This was STUPID no matter who did it.  [b]Kids are 24/7. Not just when you feel like it.[/b] She should have gotten that 45 minutes through a babysitter or when they went to bed.[/quote]

At 55, I'll admit that I wouldn't want to be keeping up with two kids that age.

Good grief, 55 is not elderly.  Grandparents who are 70+ watch their grandkids all the time.[/quote]

PP here. I agree, and I do babysit very often. Still working out at a gym as well. That's not the same as being a single parent 24/7 at that age, IMHO.[/quote]

My own kids were pretty easy at that age.  I would have felt comfortable leaving them alone long enough to run out to pick up take out pizza.  Especially if we had had a busy, fun, active day and they were settled in and watching t.v. or playing quietly when I left.[/quote]

PP here. Our two kids were also very easy, but I still work in a school system part-time and see quite a few who are so impulsive and active that it could be hard for one person. Really all depends on the situation.[/quote]
