[quote=Anonymous]I'm Gen X. My mom gave me a key to unlock the front door to our empty house after walking eight blocks home alone from school. In kindergarten. She was at work. I crossed a high-traffic road with semis carrying big loads, racing down the street. Vivid memory of walking home from kindergarten alone and unlocking the front door with the key, like a big kid. I would be at home alone for a few hours until someone got home. Don't remember what I did, but I'm still here. Neither of my parents had much time for me, never enrolled me in activities. Go play, why are you sitting around the house, they would say. So I would ride my bike to the next town, four miles away, just for something to do. In third grade. That was my childhood in the 1970s. It's all perspective, I guess.[/quote]
