Me and our ex are selling our house. We got a showing today and it was my time at the house. I swear I opened all the doors and checked the rooms. Cleaned up whatever messes I saw. I get my youngest daughter the dogs and head out. For context we have 3 kids. 11,7,5. The oldest almost always spends weekends and off school days with his grandmother. He's also my step son I raised since 10 months old. Other 2 girls are mine. 7yo was across the street with the neighbor. Me and the ex don't live in the house together we rotate out and the kids stay full time. I got here about an hour and a half before the showing. She left to see a house when I got here. We leave as the people showed up early so we rushed out the door. Me, daughter and 2 dogs. They were only 20 min in the house. I get back. Go to throw something away and see 2 poptart boxes. I thanked my 5yo for throwing away trash from the pantry. She denies it. I try explaining it was a good thing. She says she left them in there. So I'm now like well crap this agent is cleaning messes in the house. Then I hear thumping coming down the steps. Confused I see my boy pop around the corner. I ask when he got here. He says he's been here. I ask why he didn't come out when I had mentioned it to my daughter multiple times we had to leave for a showing. He said he was asleep. I asked why he was still asleep at noon and what time he went to bed. He argued he went to bed at 9 pm. I got his phone and looked at the screen time. Up till 1 am last night. I'm so embarrassed at this moment that I left a kid in the house. I can remember ever opening his door and if I did it was a quick open and close. I feel awful as a parent rn.

TL;DR 11yo boy got left behind during client walk though of hosue.
