[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]11. We live in an area with earthquakes though and that plays in to it. [/quote] Yep. Having lived through a big earthquake a couple of years ago, we now only use older teen babysitters. I used to have no problem leaving my kids with a 14 year old, especially after the kids were asleep, but the idea of that 14 year old trying to deal with two preschoolers in a major emergency like that is terrifying. [/quote] ETA, I grew up in NYC in an apartment building where we knew a lot of neighbors and had a doorman. My brother and I stayed home alone and came home to an empty house at a very young age, but no earthquakes and lots of close by responsible adults to help.[/quote]
