[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good heavens the helicopter caregivers are out en masse toda. Jeez, a three and a half year old should be able to stay on a separate floor, unattended, long enough to change a diaper or lay a baby in bed. If not, then you have bigger problems on your hands than an unlocked door. You need to teach your kid boundaries STAT. that means you NEVER open the door, including the car door, unless an adult is right there with you saying it's OK. I'd start by disciplining the kid, honestly. [/quote] This. You are all nuts. A 3.5 year old should be able to be by himself for a few minutes, and know enough not to walk out the house. You need to start teaching your kid some boundaries OP. [/quote] Agreed. I frequently leave my 3.5 year old charge alone to put the baby down for a nap, change a diaper, or go to the bathroom myself. My sister's kids (2 and 4) are encouraged to play up in their rooms or down in the basement while she's doing something on a different floor of the house. Kids should be able to play independently for short periods of time without a nanny worrying about being fired for it. [/quote]
