Just that really. 12yo wants to look after her sister while I pop to the shop...

I wouldn't do it, not until younger one is older, more like 7.

Lethaldrizzle · 10/09/2018 18:53

I would

DaanSaaf · 10/09/2018 18:53

If 12 year old is sensible then I would.

himalayansalt · 10/09/2018 18:53

Of course it's fine.

ferrier · 10/09/2018 18:54

Yup. Decent 12 year old is the key. And keep it short.

How well behaved is the youngest?

My 4.5 year old batters the living crap out of her older sisters if they don’t give her her own way. Not a chance they’d be able to cope with her in an emergency.

Yes of course. It's only ten minutes
