kids

today i was talking to my friend about how young a kid should be when he is left alone in the house and i thought about it a little more and i decided that when the kid is 7 he is old enough to be left alone in the house but i'm not saying he can be left alone for hours on end with no one checking in on him i am saying if the parent will be gone for an hour or 2 at the most it is ok. kids need more time to be independent and make some decisions themselves and not be taken care of by a parent constantly.

talking to my friend? don't you mean talking to MIGHTY BELUGA? and when your kid grows up and is all like "dad how come you never spent time with me and left me home all alone with the evil baby-sitter, I think I'm never going to talk to you again," I will be all in your grillz saying TOLD YOU SO.

but of course, to each his own.
