[quote=Anonymous]7 if I'm walking, going to corner store or visiting a neighbor. 8 if I'm going grocery shopping, 9 with a phone if I'm going shopping or for an adult lunch/dinner. 10 I would leave for 3 hours with a phone to contact me. By 10 I would also be ok with them having friends if I am not gone more than half an hour. My kids look forward to it but they're also responsible. They have some friends I can understand why others would not leave them home alone due to anxiety in the child or tendencies to get into trouble/ make a mess. I hated being left alone so I triple check they are ok with it and they say they have no fears/ worries about it and would rather stay home than be dragged around town. As tweens/ teens I think I am becoming more apprehensive about leaving them home alone. [/quote]
