Yes, That way I get to eat my tasty and nutricious microwavable macaroni and cheese dinner before I pummel the burglars.
If you come over you can watch them be carried away on stretchers before the police book them.

It all depends. At night, in the day... but when it comes to children, it isn't always safe.
Home Alone: Are You Ready? Did you know that in the U.S., almost half of all kids aged 6 to 13 are home alone for part of the day? The boys in the Home Alone movies certainly had fun, but the whole experience can be freaky sometimes.
Topics on Home Alone:
Are You Ready?
I
These days, even a lot of adults are scared to be alone in the house! It's TOTALLY understandable if you, or someone you know, are nervous about being home alone.
Kid watching TVTake Jessi and her brother Joey. For over five years now, they've been taking care of themselves until their Mom comes home from work. Jessi says that the worst thing about it is when she or her brother is locked out. Then they have to wait on the porch until the other gets home! Sometimes, both of them get locked out! Fortunately, they each have a cell phone so they can call their mom when that happens.
Your parents think you're ready, but do YOU?
At first it sounds cool to be home alone, right? Think of the freedom you'd have around the house! There's nobody to stop you from playing video games or watching your favorite TV show!
Joey admits that he likes being able to watch or listen to TV shows and music he likes. It's more freedom, he says...but it's also more responsibility.
So there you are, listening to that CD your parents hate. Then: what's THAT? You hear a noise outside. It sounds like it could be a person on the front doorstep, and there's been a string of robberies in the area lately. Suddenly, your unsupervised freedom doesn't feel so safe anymore.
It's a normal feeling and it doesn't mean you're a "baby." There's always stuff going on in the world to shake our feelings of security. You might feel totally fine about being alone when you're 10. Then, two years later, something happens that makes you feel different about it. Every person and every home environment is unique.
If you have worries about being home alone, it's really important to speak up about them, even though it may cost money to get a sitter or your parent has to rearrange his or her schedule.
How do you know if you're ready? Ask yourself these questions.
If you answer "No" to any of these, talk to a parent about some solutions that will help you get prepared.
* Do you know what to do if there's an Emergency Situation like: a fire, a bee sting, a sister who's choking, a knock at the door, an allergic reaction, a natural disaster (earthquake, tornado, flash flood)?
* Can you respect the house rules (see Ideas for House Rules) set by your parent/guardian?
* Can you take care of your basic needs, such as snacks, drinks, homework, etc. while still following the house rules?
* Are you able to entertain yourself if you don't have homework? Check out our Home Alone Activities suggestions!
Maybe you're a home-alone pro and answered yes to all the questions. Good going! Now you can take it even farther and make sure you know how to be safe during your time alone.
So kids out there, be careful.
Oh wait, I almost forgot the question. No I don't get bored, I'm home alone right now and I'm having a hell of a time on the computer.

During the daytime but definitely not at night. No, I don't get bored. I actually get a lot of things done but I am rarely ever alone.

Yes, usually. It's nice to have the house to yourself, but not at night when you watch a scary movie and then prowl from room to room with a tennis racket at the ready in case anyone or anything jumps out at you. Otherwise, no one bothers me when I'm all alone. It does get lonely sometimes, though. It's nice to have a mix.

No, no, no! I hate it. I'm home alone sooooo much lately. I get so bored and kind of depressed. Plus I'm uber paranoid so I freak myself out. (:
