[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm not so worried about the "entertain themselves" aspect. I simply don't think it's appropriate for kids in middle school to be home alone. Maybe not even until 11th grade.[/quote] HAHAHA. How old are your kids? My 11y and 12y old are perfectly fine being home along for 2-3 hrs after school until DH and I got home. Junior in HS? By then, they are 17 - often with jobs, cars, and a life outside of your home. When I was 17y, I was not only home alone, but spending the night alone when my mother needed to travel for work (and getting myself to school) and babysitting the neighbor's kid when they went out of town for a weekend.[/quote]
