Left Alone For the 1st Time

How old were you when your parents went out of town and left you alone in the house for the first time and what did you do while they were gone? I was 16, it was over the summer and yeah I threw a loud party.

Ditto. I was never left alone. Even if I were, my brothers would have probably been left too, so the house wouldn't have been mine.

Left alone overnight? Nah, rents don't travel.

I was 15, and it was just the one night. Our basketball team made it to state, and my parents went to the game. I was a cheerleader so I had to stay back and ride the bus on the day of the game.

I had a party and drove the car illegally. The latter was a very stupid thing to do.

First time for me was when I was sixteen. This was before cell phones were as common was watches and so my parents would call the house phone every hour to make sure I was there. Didn't really do much, other than invite a few friends over.

At age 17. My mother went down south to visit my cousin, who had just had a baby. I basically hit the streets at all hours....I went out to some folks houses, invited some over to mine. (Heh. There was sexual company, now that I think about it.) I'm pretty sure she probably told me to be in the house by a certain time and I'm pretty sure I didn't obey. It was summer AND I had access to her car, so there was no way I was gonna stay in. She must have known that I was gonna go out, so she simply said that she'd be calling me at such and such a time....and that I better be sure I was home to get the calls.

I was never alone overnight if my parents were not home some of my brothers and sisters were.

Was never left totally alone because I had three older brothers. Someone was always there, even when my mom and dad weren't.

Can't remember a time my mother just left us alone in the house while she went out of town. She usually took us with her. However, once when I was about 19 and my brother was 15.....she went out of town to New Orleans and took my sister who was a baby at this time, like around 5 or 6 months old. She didn't want us to stay in the house by ourselves (I guess she knew me, lol), she was like "you're staying at your father's house". And I was like "but I'm 19! Why can't we stay at home?". She said "fuck that, you're not staying here". And took our keys! And the extras she thought we had. Me and my bro weren't feeling it. During this time, my mom was doing renovations on the house.....she was building a new porch for the front door and it wasn't fully completed so we never used the front door to enter the house. And we hadn't used it for a long time. There were no steps to the door and it was a just a big hole there to fill in the concrete and make the steps. Little did she know, I had an extra key to the front door, even when she didn't. So we packed up our little bags to head over to dad's house. She locked all the doors and the windows before we got in the car so she could personally drive us over to his house. But I managed to sneak back in the house and take the dead bolt lock off the front door. Because I only had the key to the doorknob lock, not the dead bolt lock. Got to dad's house, waited for her to leave, then drove right back home. Me and my brother got down in the empty hole and he had to hoist me up to the front door so I could open it and climb myself on living room floor. Got inside, went around to the side door to let him in and we were just chilling that whole week in the house like that. Had a few friends over, the whole nine. Granted though, we left at night some nights to go back to dad's house because we knew she'd be calling down there so basically we were just back and forth. And imagine having to get down in the hole and hoist ourselves up to the house and on the floor every time we wanted to get in the house, lol. Funny thing, she did find out we were at home. She came home early! We weren't expecting her ass until about 9 p.m....she caught an earlier flight and was home at like 4 p.m. and we left the a/c on. We were at dad's house and decided to go back home and clean up a bit to make it look like no one was there while she was gone. Imagine our surprise when we pulled up and she and her two friends, and my sister sitting in the living room chillin'.

My parents split up when I was about 13 and my brother must have been around 7. She was never not home over night but I was left unsupervised more at an earlier age then most of my friends. I'm not saying I got into trouble but I didn't have somebody looking over my shoulder all the time.

The first time I was left alone while my parents went out of town, I was sixteen. Nothing happened, I didn't do anything out of the ordinary. They had my sister come over randomly to check up on me periodically, so no parties or anything.
