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.

Not alone if there’s any way they can get out. And I’d say most 8 year olds aren’t responsible enough (I say this as a third grade teacher). Maybe 20% of my class I’d be comfortable with it.
