My son told me that his dad leaves him home alone for an hour at night some nights to go to work. His dad then responds you weren't supposed to tell anyone. My son immediately replied "I can't keep secrets from my mom". I'm so pissed... his dad said he won't do it again after getting cussed out but we will see if Nolen tells me otherwise. If so his dad's days may start becoming very limited. There is no reason an 8 year old should be left home alone!
