It varies by state. There is an age law of how old they can be left alone in a car though. I know what you are saying though- I feel like Savannah at age 9 is definitely old enough and mature enough to leave home alone with her siblings while I run a short errand.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363315018206595234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-7821049291990582062012-06-06T14:04:57.957-06:002012-06-06T14:04:57.957-06:00Oh my word, Mika, that is ridiculous!

My friend almost got called into police when while at walmart all three of her kids threw a melt down at the same time and she camly picked them up and went straight to the car. 2 people wrote down her licence and one followed her home and paced infront of her house. She didn't yell. She didn't spank them. She didn't threaten to wrap them with duct tape like I do. She didn't say a word. So crazy!Twinkieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01494542019193405505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-88497361175303646992012-06-06T13:30:26.277-06:002012-06-06T13:30:26.277-06:00Also, we have chocolate.Also, we have chocolate.Suzanne Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129772885673695447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-84113750940747767412012-06-06T13:28:30.723-06:002012-06-06T13:28:30.723-06:00Um, I think I might have to move to Switzerland.Um, I think I might have to move to Switzerland.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10137880910015843613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-15125447358015526422012-06-06T13:25:08.971-06:002012-06-06T13:25:08.971-06:00I started babysitting for the Blackhursts when I w...I started babysitting for the Blackhursts when I was 11. They had at least 5 or 6 kids by that time. By the time we moved away, they had 10 and I was still babysitting them.<br /><br />This is one of the reasons I love Switzerland. When we had an hour long appointment, we just let the kids play outside on the playground by the office we were at. If they had a problem, they could come in, but otherwise, they were to stay outside and play. Oh, and who recommended that we do that? The pediatrician.<br /><br />Also, my friend got lectured by her son's kindergarten teacher for walking him to school. "How will he ever learn independence if you don't let him walk by himself?" she said.<br /><br />I love Switzerland.Suzanne Lucashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07129772885673695447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-544841714052873855.post-52901345589865947032012-06-06T12:36:12.838-06:002012-06-06T12:36:12.838-06:00Yes, it's a perfect time!

I actually prefer younger babysitters because they are more fun and pay better attention to the kids - they play games and stuff instead of chatting on the phone with their boyfriends the whole night.

I have recently been leaving my 11 year old home to watch my six children (only when my youngest 2 are already asleep in bed) for me to run errands. It has become a necessity for me as other children have things that they are involved in. <br /><br />I remember when I was 14 I was babysitting for a neighbor. They have a 4 year old that quite an escape artist and I ended up chasing him down the street. I am glad that the neighbors didn't call the cops.John and Crystal Pinegar Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07208145104344643060noreply@blogger.com
