[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m pretty shocked by the responses -I think of myself as a bit of a helicopter mom, but I think it’s totally fine for two 9 year olds to be home alone at 10am! Is your daughter especially immature? Do either of the girls have special needs? What were you afraid would happen? I thought this post was going to be about leaving them alone at night! I would be more comfortable leaving kids with friends vs alone at that age - they can hang out together and one could call me for help or call 911 or whatever if there was an emergency. They were probably watching TV in their pajamas and barely noticed the mom was gone. I do think the mom should have let you know when coordinating pick up time, but it probably never occurred to her that you would have a problem!

9 year old boys on the other hand…my son was a total handful at that age, but it probably depends on the kid.[/quote]

How can they call 911? Do they have a landline at home? I don’t know a single person who does, not even my relatives in their 70s-90s do. [/quote]
