Would you leave a 13 yr old home alone for a morning

[Cranberry]

I think it'd perfectly fine for 4 hours???

Yes and no doubt you'll have a mobile with you anyway?

er, yes . Assuming standard issue 13yr old?

Of course.

yes

And believe me I'm wrapemallincottonwool mother so if I say it's ok...

Yes, absolutely unless particular reasons why couldn't with the particular child.

I leave my 12 year old alone at home sometimes. And I am Mad Controlling No Freedom Allowed Mum in most other ways.

Yes, generally.

Yes of course.

They could get married in 3 years (perish the thought).

Have you honestly never left your 13 year old alone before?

Of course!

Yes - whyever not?

Yes.

I used to babysit my two younger sisters at 13.

Yes

I often leave my 13 year old alone for hours at a time.

I was also babysitting at this age for other peoples kids.

I used to care for a toddler fulltime in the hols at 13.

Where's the OP?

That was quick!! Thanks guys.
We've been asked to help out with SS for a morning which I think is crazy as he's 13! I would leave him on his own.

My sister leaves my niece's. Think there might be an angle here!

Yes of course it is fine to leave a 13 year old child alone for four hours occasionally.
