Yesterday a very good friend was telling me how she drove the babysitter home on Saturday night
I was surprised because my friend's dh is away, so this meant leaving the dcs - aged three and 10 months alone in the house
She said "She only lives 10 minutes away and the kids never wake up" and added that a mutual friend regularly drives the babysitter a good few miles leaving her ds aged two alone.
I know being a single parent which my friend effectively is is bloody tough but still ...? Is this common practice? I would feel very uneasy leaving dcs and would personally pay for a taxi but maybe I am the odd one out?

to be shocked my friend leaves her dcs - even briefly - home alone?
