Date nights
We have 3 kids aged 9-13.
At what ages did you start leaving kids at home for date nights ( daytime has been happening and isnt am issue) I definitely dont think mine are ready emotionally for us to be gone 6p-10p. But Im getting A LOT of people telling me that they're old enough. So at what age would your kids be okay? If you have multiple- the youngest kids age and the oldest kids age.
I was kinda thinking of having them be home for an hour or two then having a sitter come to support for bedtime?
Edit to add - emotionally ready = anxiety and fear. The times we leave them alone during the day for more than 2 hours they start blowing up our phones wondering where we are.
And in MY anxiety brain I go - what if my partner and I get into a car accident and die/seriously injured, then we've left them alone for way too long, then hello extra trauma
