Should I leave kids in bed?

[Dramaqueenbee]

I'm dropping other half at airport at 4.30 am next week. (30 min drive) Should I wake my 9 year old and take her with me or leave her sleeping? My son is 14 and I have left them for short periods in the daytime before but feel it's a bit different as it's nighttime.What do others think?

A 14 yo is old enough to deal with an emergency so I would leave them tbh. It sounds like you will be back before either of them wake, I would just make sure smoke alarms are checked and the house is left secure. I wouldn't drag a 9yo out of bed at 4am unless I really had to.

I would leave them but let them know in advance, so they don’t panic if they can’t find you.
