Yuup!! Those were the best of times! But dishes had to be done by the time my mom got home or else we would get whoopens..

Nope -- My Mom was always home for me, and from about the age of 5 to 17 my Grandfather lived with us.

Not until I was nine years old, but I also had two older sisters that I ignored.

Yup..,its pretty cool as we got to play alot.

No, my mom was a stay at home mom, not until junior high school did I come home to a sometimes empty house.
I hated being alone for a long time.
Came from a huge family.
After my divorce and I was forced to be alone, I learned to look forward to being alone from time to time.

Yep.

Someone was always home, but when I was a teenager , I would just stay in my room most times. I can relate to being alone apart I really enjoy being alone 😊

Even if mom did give us a key, We would still climb through the window

Yup

Yes, until my youngest sister was born when I was 14. Before that, I got home before my brother and other sister, so when they arrived I’d fix snacks and we’d wait for our parents. After our other sister was born, Mom stayed home for a few months, then the folks hired a housekeeper.
