My friend and I have children the same age (9 and 13) I was a little as she mentioned how nice it was now her and her DH could go out for dinner and leave them home alone, and also how the childrenw would walk together into the town to the shops etc.
I wondered if maybe I was being a little anxious. My eldest goes off to school on the bus, into town etc but not the youngest. So I checked online and it said this www.gov.uk/law-on-leaving-your-child-home-alone which seems to say under 12s shouldn't be left for long.
I would leave mine bother together to pop out to the shop for example but not for long. Any ideas on this and what you do around this age? Am I just being a but U?
