[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Having spent my most of my teen years completely alone at home for hours every day after school,[/b] I am so grateful to be able to work from home and be present for my kids. (Which constitutes “teen-ternity” according to the article.) These years are rough, even with kids who seem “easy” externally. Things change on a dime. Big problems come out of seemingly nowhere.[/quote] Being home alone was the greatest thing about being raised in the 20th century. Your kids don't know what they're missing. [/quote] PP here. I spent all those after school hours bingeing and purging, blowing off the pent up pressures of the school day. Truly the worst years of my life. No doubt, it made me fiercely independent and self-reliant having no parents around, but not necessarily in a good way. Some kids will do great with the house to themselves, I’m sure. Personally, having someone around would have spared me a lot of pain.[/quote]
