	I think it depends on the child. Will your 14 yr old also be there when the 11yr old gets home? I had the same problem a few years ago and they only had to be home for about an hour before I got home. My son was older but it turned out my daughter was actually the more responsible one and kept an eye on her brother for me. But it did ease my mind knowing they were both there together watching out for one another. Flag
