[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, I think everyone is being too hard on you - several unattended hours after school in middle school is a lot. And it sounds like you are somewhere this could be a problem. In Maryland 12.5 is not old enough to babysit, but is old enough to be home alone. Can you hire someone a few days a week - maybe offering some flexibility to the person you hire would help and then either the kids are alone a few days or you ask to finish your days at home a few days? This would decrease your cost. You could possibly ask for someone to do some household tasks. I think taking the financial hit is better than giving up your job. [/quote] Middle schoolers do not need babysitting!! This is wild to think so. They might need drivers. Or tutors. But someone to sit in the house with them? That is insane.[/quote]
