Ugh. I’m gonna be hurting tomorrow I think. This will be my first trip to the gym in months. They kids hid my weights so haven’t been able to do that at home either. Hubbys going with me and he pushes himself and others.
Plus anxiety is super high despite the meds because he just now informed me that rather than the kids go with us and be in the nursery and play areas, they’ll be staying home alone! We are half an hour from the gym. No neighbors within yelling distance. They have a cellphone, know not to eat/drink when we aren’t home and to keep all doors and windows locked. We unlock them or knock and wait for them to verify that it IS us by the car then seeing us and let us in. We’ve made short afternoon trips or left them home for half an hour after school when running late. Never a 2 hour evening trip. They’ll be fine I’m sure but my anxiety isn’t convinced lol. Time to come up with appropriate threats and punishments for breaking the ‘home alone’ rules. Geez I’m a basketcase right now 🤦♀️🤪.

Oh boy! Letting go is the hardest. My youngest daughter brought a boy home. 😬

It is! My youngest is 4. I wouldn’t worry near as much if she were with me and just the 10&13 yr old at home alone.
As for bringing a boy home? Umm nope! They can bring a boy home when they hit 25! Well maybe 21 cause I do want grandkids before I’m too old to play with them on the floor. Sorry man. Boys are an issue I hope we don’t have to deal with anytime soon. I feel for you!

So update us! No one burned the house down??LOL. I know how you feel. A few years ago when we left our two for the first time for three nights, on their own, no grandparents, I was flying to see my hubby for our anniversary (he worked away) and at an airport touch down, while in the plane, on the runway, my phone kicks in and I get partial texts...my daughters school had a bomb...I couldn’t go home...I nearly fell apart. The timing couldn’t have been worse. But all was ok. Just ended up a smoke bomb, but evacuated etc, police all of it and I’m across the country. I’ll never forget it. But they did fine. It’s us moms that can’t handle them growing up. No one is worse than me. 😑 I’m growing up too!! Haha.

Well I might not be worse than you but I bet it’s a tie! IF we lived in town with neighbors I knew I’d feel differently. However we are secluded in the country. They can’t yell for help or go next door. It would take an ambulance 20 minutes or more tog we to here as it’s half an hour away for me. Once the oldest can drive I think I’ll worry less. If there’s a fire or something they can load up and she drive them to the nearest neighbors. I’m working with her now but she’s uncomfortable in a big suburban...and 13. At 12 I was driving a low geared, 4 speed, stick shift with no power steering. It sucked but Mom handed me the keys and said go get feed and don’t come back without it. It was just across the road from us-a us highway, but I had to stop and start a few times plus back up to the dock. I hit that dock a few times but I learned to judge distances much better lol. Even with a neighbor close I didn’t stay home alone until 15 or 16.

As for how it went.. ok. They wouldn’t answer the phone when I texted them. She finally did right before we pulled in. One kid had a snack. They goof off and someone usually chokes. Hubby grabs the little one by the ankles and she coughs it up. The older girls he bends over and pounds their back until it comes up. My oldest literally chokes on her spit! I have issues swallowing pills and choked a lot as a kid so I think it’s something genetic in my/our throats.
The house was still standing. They were aggravated with each other but the 4yr old gladly told on the snacked and proceeded to go through the rules and which were broken or not lol. Her and the middle have a strong sense of honesty and transparency. They often tell on themselves because the guilt of breaking a rule eats on them. The oldest will hide it if she can.
I’ll leave them alone again but may lock up the fridge lol. It also seems they argued but when they started on that I left and told them not to tell me.
