and only you know your children.
Some kids are being paid to babysit at 13 or 14 years of age.
I personally wouldn't do it.. but there are a lot of things to think about...
How far are you going? How big is the hotel?
But the bottom line is: would you ever forgive yourself if anything happened to either of your children because you left them alone. I know I wouldn't if it was me.
And as Struth said - why should your 13 year old live with that same guilt if something happened to her younger sibling.
Food for thought!
