at the age of 9 our household became a 1 parent family, with my dad being the parent...we quickly learned if we wanted lunch, we made it, we wanted breakfast, we made it, we wanted clean clothes, we washed our own...we had a sports practice, we rode our bikes to it and he would pick us up if we finished near dark, otherwise, bike back home as well (yeah, I know, different times).
