9. I was a latch key kid...

mom was widowed and when I turned 13...I got to babysit my brother (he was actually only a year younger) and make dinner after school...

both my husband and I work..but we don't overschedule our kids and we teach them self reliance for activities...just the other day my son was bitching why I won't pour his milk or get his drinks anymore...I told him..."you are tall enough and strong enough to do it for yourself"..
