[quote=Anonymous]1. Totally agree with the others who say that 9 is plenty old enough to be at home alone. 2. Your DH needs a break when he's done with work, but it's not fair that you have to be the go-to parent 24/7. 3. Your 9yo needs some independent time - you all can pick what the best fit for that is. 4. Does your DD have a way to connect with her friends independently via email/text/factime/etc? If no, can you get her a device and/or invite her to use the landline to connect with friends? I have an only that age too and sympathize, and I also think there are probably viable ways to give yourself more of a break with a bigger kid.[/quote]
