Dominic is only 6 but he has really changed with Alex. They used to fight alot but now he sorta looks up to her because she is bigger and smarter than him. :) I know Alex has said alot of her friends go home off the bus and have a key to get in. That's when I started wondering if maybe I was a bit too uptight. My sister started having her 9 and 6 yr olds come home this school year for 2 hours after school until she got home and her significant other is a police officer. Apparently there are no laws in KS so you just have to use your best judgement. <BR/><BR/>I honestly don't see this happening very often. As far as neighbors, we live in the country. Alot of these people work which is another reason I figured they'd be fine. We are not in town and the only people that rarely go up and down our road live out here.Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681023354474064779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10506891.post-64646186911734547662009-03-25T20:57:00.000-05:002009-03-25T20:57:00.000-05:00Honestly I think it really depends on the child.. ...Honestly I think it really depends on the child.. and if you think Alex is mature enough at 9 to be home alone for 10 minutes... I won't say anything against it. I don't remember what time my mom started leaving me while she was at work.. I stayed w/ a great aunt at first, but I know she left me alone pretty early. I know by 13 or 14 I could stay home overnight when she worked nights a few times. <BR/><BR/>What was crazy was my babysitter leaving me to watch her kids (all younger than me and there were like 3 or 4 of them lol) when I was 6 and 7. When she got caught I was moved lol. I did know what to do, but still thinking back...Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877510817457439788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10506891.post-60089910593603006502009-03-25T15:53:00.000-05:002009-03-25T15:53:00.000-05:00Good for you!
