[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it highly, highly depends on the kids. [/quote] +1 and local community. I was left alone and alone with my sister much younger than 11, but we also knew which neighbours to go to in an emergency (either in person or by phone). That matters a lot too. I wouldn’t leave my kids where I currently am — they’re very responsible for their ages but while we’re on nodding terms with our neighbours its not trust you with my kids terms.[/quote] This. Mine were 12 and 8 but the 12 yo could have stayed home alone at age 10 if an only child. I just didn't want the older one to have to be responsible for the younger quite yet. Very different children.[/quote]
