Question:

What age is it okay to leave kids home by themselves?

Like for a grocery run?

A night out with the partner?

A weekend getaway?

Probably in the 5 to 7 range for the shorter items, scaling up to “weekend getaway.” There is a toxic culture of helicopter parenting right now though, so don’t expect a lot of support on what were previously “no brainers” for parents.

That's awesome. Bet they had a great time too. :)

I agree.  A few weeks back I left my 16 and 17 yr old daughters at home by themselves for 3 days. My mom was a bit freaked but they did great.
