[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was an actual latch key kid. Had the key to my house on a shoestring around my neck. From 3rd grade forward I was the only person in my house from after school until one of my parents got home from work after 5:30. Watched a lot of television. Also, a television was on in my home 24/7. There were three in the house and one was always on. For a number of years as an adult the first thing I would do in the morning was turn on the television. It was just background noise. No limiting of screen time for me.[/quote] Latch key was normal in the 1970s. I was a latchkey kid from the age of 8.[/quote] Me too from the age of 7. Also babysitter to my sibs, 5 and 3. 3 yr old got dropped off by preschool bus. The 5 yr old and I walked home from school together. I was in charge until parents got home around 7. We watched a lot of tv too and ate Kraft American cheese on white bread sandwiches when we got home from school.[/quote]
