I did ask this on an old thread, but it was in its death throes, so I'm going to ask again if that's alright.
It turns out I have a seminar group from 2.30 to 4pm one night a week this semester - starts 1st Feb. Dd, in year 6, finishes school at 3.15.
Sometimes she walks halfway home if I'm not going to be back for 3.15 and dd1 meets here there, as her school is halfway between primary and home - unfortunately on this day, dd1 has an afterschool activity she can't change. So dd2 would have to do the rest of the walk (cross a big road at proper crossing, then straight to our road), let herself in, and wait for about 45 minutes until I got in.
She's a sensible girl and I trust her, but not, of course, traffic and Other People. I'm also concerned that she'd be lonely and worried in the house alone. I could feasibly work at home until my seminar, and make sure I left her a note and a snack ready - just not sure this is quite good enough.
WWYD, please?
