Childhood then and now – what we can learn from our parents

Yesterday I talked to a friend about how different our childhoods are compared to the lives of our children today. We had to laugh at some things, others were almost negligent. I wrote down the best facts from earlier for you and compare them with today’s time – 80s, we are coming! Oh yes, it could contain a hint of satire.

Freedom to the point!

In the past, we were allowed to play outside alone as a preschooler – and we even managed without a drinking bottle and Tupper can. We were called in for dinner and then stormed out immediately. Those who were thirsty got something for themselves, and otherwise the mums were happy to have their rest. But today? Forget it! We would never leave our tots unattended for so long, traffic and all the bad people out there! The children would also either feed themselves or die of thirst or starve if we did not keep adding our salt sticks and pinchies to them.
