Yeah, I was a latchkey kid from an early age - Mom worked all day and took classes at night (needed the Master's degree for her teaching job), and my older siblings watched me until they went to college - which was when I was 9. So I spent LOTS of time by myself - visiting neighboring friends' houses, watching TV, whatever. But I never was alone overnight until I was 16, and my mom had to be out of town with my sick grandfather regularly. I took care of myself - but at 9, that would have been too young. Could I have managed? Yeah, I was making myself lunch and all at that point. But not with an autistic younger sibling to deal with too. It's just too young.

What fucktards his parents are.
