They were gone maybe 20 minutes. But man, was I at the top of the world for the next week or so, telling all of my friends how "grown up" I was, that I didn't need someone to stay with me :) Good for you, getting away for a while, and letting them spread their wings, even ever so slightly. :) <abbr><em>MsMeggies last blog post..<a href="http://thingstogetoffmychest.blogspot.com/2008/12/survey-about-2008-stolen.html" rel="nofollow">A Survey About 2008 - stolen!</a></em></abbr> I still remember the first time my parents left me at home alone – they ran over to my aunt’s house, one block away from ours, to drop something off.

I'm glad that it went well and hope that as everyone is ready the time will increase!!! <abbr><em>Kristis last blog post..<a href="http://www.carunlimited.com/hideaway/archives/000636.html" rel="nofollow">::::sigh::::</a></em></abbr> I don’t think there’s really a “negative” to being over-protective unless it prevents them from social development or its self serving on the parent’s part (ie- not wanting the kid to grow up because they think that means the kid will grow AWAY from them) Plus, I can totally understand your reasoning for why you feel the way you do.

I remember the first time I left all 4 home, Leo & I were across the street at a party and the kids were spying on us!! Melanie called on my cell to ask me if I was going to be drinking those beers all night!! I was sitting on a window seat and she had a clear view from her bedroom window!! Good for you!
