I am probably going to get fired from my job because they cancelled school in the middle of the night
You would if it kept you from being fired.

Okay, I am not saying what anyone else should or would do, I am solely speaking about me personally.Anonymous 4 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 12:30 amMy bff had no choice she had to leave her 10 yr old in charge of his younger siblings. Either that or not work.Fullxbusymom wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2019 11:31 pmI am a single mom of 4 and work two jobs and I stand by what I said.

No, I wouldn't. There is always another way to a problem. I have never been one to only see one option to any problem. I would take my kids to work with me before I would ever leave them alone. However, I am not saying what anyone else should do, I am speaking about myself and my kids only.Anonymous 6 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:13 am You would if it kept you from being fired.

Then I would be fired again I would never leave my kids that young home alone for 8+ hrs. I can get another job I can't replace my kids if something were to happen because I chose to leave them that young alone.Anonymous 4 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:31 amNot everyone has that option.

My personal opinion a 10 year old should know how to use a mi microwave, lock the door, not answer the door and how to use the phone. If you teach your kids that a 10 year old should be fine.Fullxbusymom wrote: ↑Thu Apr 18, 2019 11:36 amThen I would be fired again I would never leave my kids that young home alone for 8+ hrs.
