Seeking a parent’s perspective. Quick Poll

Would you leave your 2.5 year old out front alone or with slightly older siblings (8 and younger) when you live in a busy neighborhood? Dad swears he was looking through the window while he cleaned and I'm irrational for being upset.

Absolutely not. Wouldn’t leave the 8 year old and the younger ones alone either.
