I recently moved to an apartment that is close to Colsen's school, so now he can walk to and from school. Like, I'm so close I can see the school from my window. The street that I live on is basically the school's driveway.
When I was Colsen's age I walked to and from school. One day, I followed home the girl I had a crush on. Not in a creepy, stalker way; we were walking together. I did this, without telling my parents, and when I got home my parents may or may not have even been home. My parents were the opposite of helicopter parents. I was thinking, if I ever was not home when Colsen got home, I might be arrested in this day and age. The times are a changing.
What age is the correct age for kids to be home by themselves? My parents decided it was 5 when I was little. I'm thinking for Colsen, it's probably going to have to be something like 18. I jest, but it's definitely going to have to be older.
