My husband has mostly worked away and we have 2 kids, so apart from triple checking locked doors I have done things like leave an old pair of his old work boots and shoes at the front door. I have also pushed chairs up against doors and left things under windows (home alone style). I am always careful who I tell that I live alone, and if I order pizza or anything like that I use my husbands name. We also had a german shepherd! Some nights i would hear a noise and have to put the kids in my bed to be able to relax. My keys have an alarm button on them so I would keep my keys next to my bed. 2 years ago we had someone try to break in and they keys worked a treat!!! Sucks to live this way but it just becomes a way of life
Could we also not weigh our kids in schools?? Grow up pollys.
