Is it ok to leave these children in the car for a few minutes?

[Reesescheeses]

To pop into corner shop to buy one thing. Possibly a 30 second walk to the shop as you can’t park right outside. They are 2, 6 and 13.

YABU = no
YANBU = yes it will be fine

Take the 2yr old with you, other 2 will be fine.

I would, as long as the oldest is sensible. Maybe take the littlest with you.

There’s a 13 year old in the car. Absolutely fine unless there is something you haven’t disclosed (SEN etc)

at 13 they can watch a content 2 year old for 5 mins in a secured environment

13 year old is old enough to watch the other 2.

It depends where you've parked. I'd never leave kids in the car if I'd parked on the road because of risk of an accident/them getting hurt. But if you're properly parked in a bay then no issue at all as long as you're not going to have a long chat with the people at the shop.

If your 13-year-old is happy to watch the little one, then absolutely. No problem.

13yr old is old enough to keep an eye on the other two while you pop in and out.

Thanks for the votes! Trip done, all children happy and safe

Are there pp here who would unload these ages and thanking for a ok tot milk??

Not a pp but wouldn't unload these ages tbh but rude not to thank for a tot milk even if only ok x

Don't know what happened there 🤣
popping in for a pint of milk

Sorted!

Shouldn't have been drinking coffee when I read that 😅

I would presume a teenager (without additional needs) is perfectly capable of looking after any age sibling for 5 minutes

Definitely fine in real life. 2 year old is strapped in of course. 13 year old is plenty old enough to be in charge for a few mins.

Ouchie laughed so hard at this I think I've torn my c section stitches.

Yanbu OP, 13yo is quite old really!
