I have 3 kids, the oldest, DS, will turn 14 next Monday, oldest DD is 12 and youngest DD 9. We have a family wedding coming up in April and my neighbor, who I was going to ask to sit, has now been placed on weekend, night shift and won't be able to watch the kids (this is a Sat evening wedding in Philly). I don't feel comfortable leaving the kids alone, particularly since it is at night, for about 4 hours. My DH is going to stay home with the kids and I am going to 'escort' my 84 yr old father to the wedding. My sister (it is her son getting married) thinks I am totally wrong...they are plenty old enough to be left alone. If it were a daytime wedding, held closer to home, MAYBE I would feel better about this. As it stands now, there is just no way!!
How old were your kids when you didn't panic with them home alone for this length of time??
