This is what I do to keep things realistic. For sims without extended family (aunts or uncles, grandparents,etc) , kids usually stay home alone, grab a bowl of cereal or some premade meal and go to bed. They pretty much take care of themselves.
For bigger families, the father or mother usually takes the kid (I.e "travel with") to their granny's house or to their auntie's house (or have them come over) and they stay together until my sim's work shift is over. For a neater effect, sometimes the kid will also bring dinner (packed by mom or dad). It is also a very nice time for kids to spend time with their cousins (in my game sims are usually best friends with their cousins since they spend a lot of time together).
