    Walk to school alone or with friend/s (one block or less)
    If I could see them as they walked probably 8
    Walk to school alone or with friend/s (more than one block)
    High School - My kids are going to hate me I know...
    Catch public transport alone or with friend/s
    Is University too late? Again with the hating of me...
    Stay home alone, during the day
    High School... although we'd have a panic room by then I hope. Fully stocked, with TV and food.
    Stay home alone at night
    Hmmmm University?
    Leave them to their own devices at home, while you sleep or whatever
    I do that now, however my oldest is 10... and my youngest is 5...

    We are at this one now and I'm still not sure I like the idea of my 13 year old catching PT on his own or with friends.

    Do this now. But never for longer than 1hr and only when neighbour is home.

    Stay home alone at night
    I'd like to say never, but I guess they'll have to grow up sometime.......so my current thought is 16-18 depending on individual maturity. Subject to change without notice.

    We do this now. Ds at 13 1/2 years old is quite responsable and very very protective over his little sister.
    Funny though sibling fighting is not amune, as long as it's him it's ok aparantly.
