[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 326641, member: 1514"] Well at 14 he should be old enough to leave alone. You wont be able to find a sitter at that age or daycare. Maybe you could find an elderly woman...maybe...if she could handle him. Obviously husband shouldnt have left the computer on but difficult child should have known better too. The airsoft gun I wouldnt have that much of a big deal with but I would make him find all pellets and pick them up. I would also make him clean up any mess he made of the house. Or charge him an hourly wage for house cleaning. Normally they get into trouble when they are bored. Figure out what special interesting things he can only do when left at home alone. [/QUOTE]
