How old was your kid before you felt comfortable leaving them home alone?

Kat • Single Mama

So I have a roommate who routinely leaves her 7/8 year old home alone and it worries me. I don’t know how to address it with her, whenever I’m going to be there it’s no worries but she does it even when I’m not and says it’s cool she’ll be fine. When she has to work I have no problem pitching in but today she called into work and then took off with her boyfriend. I feel bad for the little girl but also nervous about something happening to her, or her starting a fire or something. My Roommate is so touchy I’m afraid to address it- she’ll take it as an attack on her parenting. Omg help.
