I’ve been single mum for a year and trying to do some things for myself now kids are more settled. They are 10 and 13 can’t leave them alone at night if I go out for dinner with friends or cinema, not looking to be out partying all night or drinking. I was wondering how long is acceptable to expect a babysitter to stay with them? They don’t really need looking after it’s more someone in the house incase my youngest needs anything.
