Any of you from that generation where you were left alone at home at a pretty early age? Looking back it seemed more of the norm back then but is not in today’s world.
I would sometimes stay home alone when my mom worked and step dad worked half a block away, so he was close by. I was between 6 and 8 years old. I remember watching Scooby Doo and thinking the host in between shows could actually see me. I always had a vivid imagination and was convinced one day he was talking to me and could somehow climb out of TV set if he wanted too.
I also remember trying to bake cookies out of a recipe on a cereal box and was so worried I would get in trouble for baking by myself.
I had an adult friend next door I used to bake cookies with sometimes and adored her. I found out one day she had been robbed by gunpoint and as a little girl was so scared. I thought “what if guy had come into my home and I was home alone?” We lived in San Franscisco at the time on Cabrillo Avenue near Argonne school. But one thing I am thankful for is I will always have that city mentality cause of what happened.
Today as a mom I realize my parents probably felt okay with me home alone since my step dad worked so close to home. But I also know I am too protective to leave my 5 year old by herself and our world today is so much scarier than back then.

Awesome blog! Do you have any hints for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own site soon but I’m a little lost
