Having a disagreement with dp. Trying to make this objective so- one of us left 6 year old in bath and sat in the room next door. Door was open. Child was talking/singing the entire time. Adult was sat on bed/playing on phone so not doing anything important, but also able to hear the entire time. Parent A thinks this is fine. Parent B thinks child is too young, but not sure how old child should be before they should be left?

YABU- child is fine and old enough to be safe
YANBU- child is too young and it’s not too much effort to sit on the floor/toilet for 15 minutes

I didn't leave my son alone at all until he was 10.. and even then I was upstairs pottering and the door was open, with us communicating/me listening like a hawk
