I have a one year old child at home but he's so noisy and annoying. Is it okay to just leave him alone in the house sometimes when I need to get a breather or go on a vacation?

It is okay to leave your child alone in the house sometimes. The key is to make sure that you have made provisions for your child’s safety while you are gone. For example, if your child is old enough, you can leave a list of important phone numbers to emergency contacts, along with rules on the kinds of activities they can engage in when they are alone, for example. Make sure to set reasonable limits and check up on your child from time to time to make sure that he or she is safe.
