[quote=Anonymous]You say "the world is very" different, as an excuse as to why you can't leave kids at home. But really - that's not true. The world has always been a dangerous place, and you're clearly not a 'pretty relaxed' parent, if you think doordashing food because you're afraid to leave a kid alone for 10 minutes is necessary. To answer your question-- yes, I have, and will continue to leave my kids at home alone for a while while I run errands. My kids are smart, cautious, and I trust them. I was staying home alone with my (then) 5 year old sibling when I was younger than they are growing up....and I'd like think that I've turned out alright! Kids aren't made of glass, my boys are the world to me, but I also know the difference between being a worrywart and an aware and caring mom. They'll be fine. We don't live in a warzone, as the media likes to portray.[/quote]
