[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is on you for saying that the kids could be home alone for short stretches of time. how was she to know that although the nine year old could be home alone for a few minutes, you meant never with your 6 year old? if you want her to understand your rules, be clear about them-she would never assume that was okay if you hadn't told her so.[/quote]

Well, her hints were that I said THE BOYS, used the names of the boys, and provided clear parameters for when the two BOYS, named (name 1 and name 2), could stay home together.  There's also this thing called common sense. My daughter is six. The boys are 9 and 11. See any difference?

By your logic, if I told her the oldest can walk the dog up our block, does that mean that our four year old can also do so? [/quote]

Actually, the more analogous situation would be whether the four-year-old can walk the dog with the oldest.  I think your instructions might have been unclear--she left the six-year-old with a kid who you had explicitly said could be home alone.  She didn't leave the six-year-old home alone.

I mean, fire her if you want, but I think your instructions were ambiguous enough that she might have thought she was complying.  [/quote]
