[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 170630, member: 3626"] I didn't mind if the parent would go out and run an errand and be back -- the kids never had a chance to do much because they never knew when an adult would be back. I didn't mind if a parent would be home from work in 30 minutes or less, more than that and I had a problem. Otherwise, no way. It just seemed to leave too much to temptation for smoking, drugs, drinking, etc. I think I finally gave in until around age 16. More because at that point I really couldn't stop her than because I was comfortable with the idea. Even then the rule was never for more than 2 hours without an adult. If I knew that the kids were going to be alone at home, I would make surprise visits so that my daughter was absolutely paranoid about me showing up and catching them doing something wrong. Certainly saved me some worries. [/QUOTE]
