Leaving kids home alone while sleeping…
I have 2 kids, ages 12male and 9female. I have reached the ages where I can leave them alone for short periods of time together while I go for a run down the street.
Running is my preferred method of exercise, and this kind of freedom to not have to time my runs before my husband leaves for work has been great, life-changing even. I almost feel like a whole independent adult again, just getting to do this one thing for me on my terms.
But recently my daughter has said that she does not want me to go while she is sleeping. That she doesn’t like waking up to the house empty, which I get, but she rarely wakes up when I’m out, I’m nearly always back before she wakes up. Plus, she has her 12 year old brother there, and there is a phone where they can reach me.
I have held off when she’s asked me not to go because I don’t want her to feel unsafe, but I feel like at this point I should be able to run down the road for 20 minutes. Nothing bad has happened when I’ve been gone. She tends to deal with a lot of anxiety, so I’m not sure if I should accommodate it or let her deal with it. What say yall?
