My mini-me is 10. I've started leaving him on his own for short periods of time coz he doesn't care for shopping or anything that doesn't interest him (imagine that - a child that's self absorbed - no, really!) and would just rather stay home and watch TV or play his Gameboy.
I talked to his dad last night about babysitting because I really see no point in paying a sitter when he’s not working, so we’ve “fired” the sitter. She was being inflexible about cost as he's rarely been there in the morning, instead going directly to school so he can hang out with his friend or go to his classroom and get extra help from his teacher. He thinks he can stay on his own after school now, but I don’t know how comfortable I am about letting him be home alone for 2 hours. I’ll talk to him with his dad tonight after work and see what comes of it.
I think he'd give McCauley Culkin a run for his money...lol...and with Eddie there, nobody would dare mess with him. He makes a HUGE fuss when there's someone at the door and he's got a BIG bark. No one needs to know that he's a big ol' suck...lol

Aw Thats Eddie for you... He looks like a big softie too! Inflexible babysitters have no right to be inflexible... I mean, come one, babysitting is great, but unless you plan to become one of those big successful nannies like nanny 911, it's not really a career option, is it? It's a job for people who're too young to get real jobs or people who are fantasmicly obsessed with kids (In a good way!) so being inflexible to the popint of not being able to agree with the employer is a totall no no.
Love!
