What do you do when the whole family leaves the house?
you could be a spouse, an S.O. or even a responsible, legal young adult. the whole family leaves town for a reunion or funeral or even a vacation or whatever, but THEY ARE GONE for a significant amount of time.
for some reason, you didn’t go and you have the house to yourself. do you make good use of the time? do you do what you always wanted to do only if you were by yourself to do it?

Go and lock myself in my room because I’m too scared to go to any other part of the house because I’m afraid a ninja will come out and attack me and I’ll have no weapon to defend myself with.
I do the same thing I always do, nothing different.
Turn up the radio REALLY loud, and dance naked.
I take a nap on the kitchen floor.
I lounge around in the living room playing video games in my underwear.
I take more naps because I know I won’t get woken up for stupid reasons.
I take showers with the radio on very loud.
I take more naps.
@YARNLADY i think i’m a lot like you. i just kick it up a notch. i am always cleaning, cutting grass, cooking, home-improving, etc. but when the family is not here, i do all kinds of stuff like move furniture and powere-detail clean up. break out this wall. cut down this weedy shrub. paint a room the color i always wanted it to be.
sometimes things have to be done that others cannot envision while in the process of making a change.
I act like a little kid and have loads of FUN.
Sleep!!!! I love my peace and quiet time :-)
Drink an entire glass of soda all by myself. (Anyone who has kids knows what I mean.)
I live alone now, though, so it’s a non-issue.
put loud jams on and sit around naked. dance.
I have the boys around for poker, drinks and billiards. We can be rowdy and no one gives a shit.
@rangerr You are surely welcome! Bring beer…. and chips
I sing really loudly and dance around the house. I watch the movies I want to watch in the middle of the day whereas usually I have to watch them after my mom goes to bed. I use funny voices and accents when I’m cooking.
Edit to add: @rangerr: I know what you mean about the naps. My mom tries to wake me up when she thinks I should wake up because I’ll “ruin my sleep schedule” and it just drives me nuts!
As a young teen- clean the house, re arrange the furniture and invite all my friends to come stay over for party time.
As an adult- clean the house, clean and groom myself, nap.
As an adult with SO- don’t clean the house, clean and groom myself, nap, daydream about naked time!
I strighten up the house, cook, and then relax in my dads chair, with a book. It’s the only time I can do that cause that particular chair is off limits when he is home.
Video games!!!!!!! :-) But otherwise, I try to keep the place straightened up so my girlfriend doesn’t have to do much upon her arrival.
Apparently I get overwhelming urges to go to sleep unusually early. I am a night owl – those should be my nights to stay up late! It always bums me out. Last time I went to bed at 7pm. Tonight was 10pm – but here I am up at 4:30. The house is a mess and I’m just glad no one is here to complain about it!
Blast my music.
Play an epic movie/play Rock Band with surroundsound on.
Take a nice quiet nap.
…all naked.
I order a expensive pizza because there will not be any kids around to eat it while I sleep. They are not my kids and I tried writing, “Ryan’s Pizza.. Do not eat” on the box. That doesn’t work.
It sucks to pay 25 bucks for a good pizza and only eat two slices.
I do housework with my fav radio programs on and take naps. It happens very very, very seldom, and it’s never for a ‘couple of days’... for that, I would have to use my imagination because I’ve never been in that situation. But, yeah… housework, radio programs up loud and naps… heaven. Maybe even an uninterrupted bath! Luxury. But it doesn’t happen. There is always too much work to catch up on. I’m always spread too thin… like not enough butter on a piece of toast…(to quote a fav movie)
i play halo 3. it’s the only thing slightly less fun than hanging out with my family?
Yeeeeeeeeeee haaaaaaaaaaaa!
When I was a little girl, I did the same thing as Scott Thompson does in this clip, except I’m not a man.
Now, I just keep doing whatever it was I was doing before anyone left.
I sing show tunes in the buff :)
I’ve been on my own for two weeks now. Time to start sleeping on “my side” of the bed again tonight instead of all over it. BooHoo!
@lucillelucillelucille I read that is how Ethyl Merman practiced her pipes!
Me, I just start playing guitar in the buff and everybody leaves the house!! Works every time!
@Cruiser -There’s no business,like shoooooow business!
I do music practice too! Fortunately, this is my situation nearly every day, because I work nights when everyone else is out during the day. I need this time to do scales and blast foreign showtunes. If I got an empty house for a whole night, then, well… what happens at the party stays at the party :D even though we’d probably just play Monopoly and make pancakes
I get paranoid if I don’t know where my parents are. I worry about them too much.
In high school—Eat, steal from my brother’s room, draw, write, read, watch porn, masturbate.
Now—Same as above (minus the stealing; he’s finally in prison), spar with my friends, take a lengthy shower, try to cook.
You call someone and have sex everywhere.
