Gav will be 11 this summer, but I’m just not ready yet. We’ve talked about going to the store and leaving him, agian I’m not ready. I was babysitting at 11 years old so know I have to allow it eventually. Just hate my children are growing up. I think 11-12 is a good age, given they’ve had the talk about not answering doors etc.

If I had any hesitation at all, I would not. My daughter is 14 and she doesn’t like to be home alone, so the only time we’ve left her is when we’ve gone up the road to the gas station or something. My older two had brief times home alone from about 12, I’d say.
