    Hi Friends,

    My husband and I are thinking to send our 9 yr old to India to my moms place along with neighbors family (living in same community, family friends), they are going to same destination, my brother will come and pick him from Airport.

    But some where in heart we are not comfortable just because we never sent him alone with any one before. We can not go this year as we have no vacation and no WFH option.

    Please advise what do you all think ?

    TIA.

    If the friends are quite close and you feel confident to send kid with them,guess it's fine.Also,make sure if they are comfortable.Plus a 9 year old can be handled.Else,you can also mention airport authorities and they will assist in safe travel.

    It depends on how close I r with the neighbors and how your kid feels about this,since he is still a kid ...
    But if u want to and if the the travel is not of too long it should be fine ..

    Dear OP ,
    If your neighbours are trustworthy and if them and your kid are comfortable travelling together guess its absolutely okay to send .

    Everything in life happens for the first time .While as a parent I understand your doubts in sending kid with someone else for the first time , as you know your kiddo and neighbours better take a decision accordingly .

    Please think though below points
    How many hrs travel?
    Same flight or with connections ?
    Are the neighbours very close and reliable?
    do they have kids of the same age?

    If you have any inkling of doubt about entrusting your child to someone else, i would suggest dont send . How will your son come back?

    Listen to your instinct, if you are uncomfortable please don’t send your kid.
