OK.. another view..
Both my parents worked when I was a kid.. and I *hated* it..
From age 7 I walked myself to school.. within a week fo starting at a new school where I knew no one to walk with..
From 12 I got the bus to school (went up to High sschool) and let myself in when I got home. (That part I quite liked!)But school holidays I was farmed out to all and sundry.. a week here, and week there.. whether or not they lived anywhere near any of my friends.. whether or not I got in with the persons kids..
That I really really hated.. with a passion.. I had no siblings anywhere near my age (my sibling, two brothers, are 13 and 15 years older than me) and it was really lonely..
