:banghead: I didn't say I was gonna do it now. When I was a kid, I spent 2 1/2 hours alone after school M-F so I figured the age was sometime between now and 9. MY GOD!! I guess I should've taken this to the "Not So Self Righteous Parenting" forum. :notetoselffornexttime:

Don't get pissed because you posted a moronic post and people told you it was moronic.

Acytually what you said was "hopefully sometime soon" I guess "soon" is relative.....
It has nothing to do with being "self-righteous".........I just didn't think that anyone with their head screwed on tight would contemplate leaving their SLEEPING 7 YEAR OLD home alone....

Beside you have the same dinners every week, wth would you need to run to the grocery store so late at night? I mean its not like you could've forgotten anything when you cook the same crap every week?

Maybe she used "grocery store" instead of "adult book store" because that is where she really needed to go and is too :blushing: to say what she really forgot to get while he was in school.

:killingme I've got plenty of porn OnDemand with Comcast :yay:

It's not that exciting, really. We went to the beach this weekend and I made a quick trip to Giant after I picked him up from school. Unfortunately, it was after dinner, homework and bath that I realized I'd forgotten something important.

My son's only 7. The reason I'm asking is because he goes to bed at 8:30, he's a sound sleeper (and I mean NEVER gets up for ANYTHING, not even to pee), and there are times, like at 9 when I'm still up and my to-do list is still weighing on my mind, when I think, "Hmmmmm, hopefully sometime soon, I can run to the grocery store and pick up a couple things." My only worry is that that would be the night he got up for a drink of water. :doh:

:loser: What if your place catches on fire, someone breaks in or the kid wakes up and goes out looking for you?

Mother of the Year you aren't.

Timely conversation.......I had to attend a work related inservice with Child Protective Services yesterday. Any child under age 8 left alone for any amount of time is supposed to be reported. Even at eight, according to CPS, they can still determine that to be in violation if the child is emotionally under-developed.

Who said anything about the porn? I was referring to toys. Now if Comcast offers those to you with OnDemand, you best make sure they are New in package :yay:

Unfortunately for you Candy, when you decide to have a child, you have to give up some of your freedom and make some sacrifices. It comes with being a parent -- single or not. You have to work around THEIR schedule, especially the young ones who most need to be on a schedule. Your to-do list can wait. It's tough, no one will argue that but you have to do what's in the best interest of the child -- not yourself. And I would never leave a sleeping child of any age home alone whether I had "the talk" with them or not.

I wouldn't feel safe at all leaving him home at night until he's at least 12 or 13. My nephew just turned 8 and I wouldn't leave him at home for 20 minutes during the day much less the night. When the cat's away the mice will play!

Enough with the self righteous BS, people. Let me ask you this, what costs more, your mortgage or your child's education? :confused: Oh, let me guess, the public schools where you live are just fine. :rolleyes: Don't talk to me about sacrifices until you're paying tuition that you can barely afford for a college prep school. Your sacrifices are made for your convenience, not what's in the best interest of your child.
