At what age is it ok to leave your kids alone at home?

Asked by simon (308points) April 21st, 2008

My son is 14 and I “might” leave him home while I go to the store for groceries, but I take my daughter that is 11. Long gone are the days where my parents shoved me out the door in the morning and didn’t look for me until dinner time (hell I could have been anywhere). At what age/maturity do you think it ok to leave them home alone?
