My oldest started staying home by herself at 12....she liked hanging out w/ mom. She started watching her siblings at 14.
I would never leave my 9 yr old boy home...with his impulse control I may not have a house.
My 12 year old stays at home by herself for up to an hour. I have hardly left her siblings at home due to the boys picking fights.
This reminds me why I don't leave them at home together. I was at the mall picking up my oldest when I get a call from my 12 year old FROM MY NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE......talk about freaked out. She then went on to explain that her brother hit her. She could not find the cell phone as her brother took it. Our house phone was buried due to toddler damage. I have always told them to go to the neighbor's house for an emergency, guess I forgot to explain what was an emergency. My neighbor thought it was funny. I did not....We now have established rules for not going to the neighbors...fighting is one of them.
