[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would feel guilty going out for dinner and leaving my 9yo home alone so
I sound get a sitter to do something fun with her. [/quote]
Weird.[/quote] why is this weird? She’s an only child… we would never go out for dinner and leave her just because we wanted to. We have lunch dates while she’s at school sometimes, a couple times a year she sleeps at Grandparents and we go out. But other than that we take her with us…. Leaving one alone is different that two though. [/quote]

NP, and I'm not calling anyone weird. But my job doesn't allow for weekday lunch dates, and we don't have grandparents who can do sleepovers. I don't feel guilty leaving mine alone (or previously, with a sitter) so DH and I can spend an hour together.[b] I think it's healthy for kids to know that their parents have an adult relationship and enjoy spending time together[/b].

And hw is that precluded by getting a sitter for your elementary aged children?[/quote]
