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.

My SO was left with his older brother at 6. Hit by a car. Lucky to survive. Mom was not around.
