needadvice answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 9:42 am: show your mom that your sister can be trusted alone by suggesting that at first she hire a baby sitter or that she spends a day alone with your sis(tell your sis to make a good impression for your mom) i wasnt aloud inside the house alone after school until i was eight, but i no moms have different opinions. If your mom let you in the house alone at the age of ten, tell her your sister is just as responsible in ways like this. [ needadvice's advice column | Ask needadvice A Question ]
vermillion26 answered Wednesday June 15 2005, 9:26 am: actually the legal age is 12 where i live (canada). you could always ask your mom if your friend could come over to your house, that way you'll get to see your friend and there will be two of you to watch your sister. personally i think that 10 is a reasonable age to leave a child at home alone, i was left alone at eight and im fine. if you have already tried that and your mom wont agree then why dont you try to get your sister to go to her friends house for a day and go over to your friends for that day? good luck.
