Thread for Things That Made You Frown Today

[Delias]

9 and 10 and you're afraid of risk in their own empty house for an hour...with the expectation of homework and chores to be completed within that hour?

You sure you're not their bleeding heart mother? Seriously they're way old enough to stay at home assuming they've been raised to be responsible and they respect your word (PS they don't if you can't task them for an unsupervised hour). You being afraid will directly translate in to them being afraid, pusification of 'murica phase alpha.

I would trust my 7yr olds in that situation.

You can have the most disciplined, best intentioned children in the world and they will still lack proper understanding of the consequences of physics. Broken bones and a burnt down house are my primary concerns at those ages.
