Our 70s playground was fabricated by medieval iron mongers. But we had nice, chunky rocks to break our fall!
We’ve removed all risk from our children’s lives, and then we’re dumbfounded that they’re scared about stupid shit. Got called “a fucking idiot” on reddit for saying I often skinny dipped in the local creek, and the crowd agreed. Dangerous behavior indeed!
And now that many of these young adults are parents themselves, they are bubble-wrapping the next generation.
Meanwhile, those of us who still remember what it was like to be “free-range” as a child are absolutely confused AF when other parents are arrested and charged with child endangerment for letting their kid walk two kilometres by themselves to the store.
Like, in what brain-dead reality is this a crime??

kind of depends on the creek. The one from my home town was full of broken bottles.
