[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kindergarten and up age kids don't really need that close of supervision. [/quote]

NP here. You are so wrong! [/quote]
Those of you agreeing with this poster, I’m just curious what sort of trouble your elementary aged school kids would get into without close supervision? I couldn’t do a 2 hour zoom call without interruption, but there definitely wouldn’t be any disasters brewing most days, so long as I let them watch TV, that is. [/quote]

I have a second grader and a fourth grader. They played together all day and watched a movie during the 1.5 hour stretch that DH and I were both in meetings at the same time. At every other point in the day, we told them we were available if they needed us, but they actually only needed us when they were hungry or when they needed help with getting snow gear on/off. They did great today. They definitely have off days where they don't get along and need more of our attention, but today was not one of them.[/quote]
