“12 is too young to stay home alone” um jessi and mallory from the babysitters’ club were 11 and looking after upwards of 4 kids singlehanded i think a 12yo can babysit himself

#rereading an old fic and like i knew it was babying this character a bit and i was rolling w it for the plot #but in podfic form i can’t skim over details and now im worried this has just ruined the whole fic for me #twelve years old! that’s middle school! that’s solidly junior high #he can absolutely stay home by himself. not for weeks on end obvi but the relevant authorities being described here don’t know that atp #puhlease #mac why r u citing a kids book for this. well. i’m being petty over fiction i’ll cite wvr other fiction i want
