For an hour by myself?

9. I would get the bus some mornings on my own. But I was babysitting at 12. Trained, CPR, etc etc.

When I was 17 my parents left me home overnight - always just one night - when work travel overlapped. But I'd often stay at an Aunt and Uncle's house that was 5 minutes from my high school. My own choice.

I loved Auntie Boot and Uncle Doug!
