I was born in the late 70's (number one reason why it was an awesome decade) but child of the 80's. I had my own house key, TTC (public transit) pass, no fucking phone. I just...went out. not like my parents were afraid of me not doing my homework. never learned to cook cuz why? I do know how to work a stove though. in theory
never even had a curfew, I was just raised to be aware of my surroundings and where possible make sure I had my friends around
my parents did get freaked out when Leslie Mahaffy's body parts were discovered in a lake. my mom put in me in a self defense class, which was fun, and they kept going on about ish that was obvious about safety, which was irritating
I feel sad reminiscing on kids having more freedom to explore. in large part cuz it makes me feel old
now off to build a white picket fence and acquire an apron to wear when I open tins of Fancy Feast so my girls don't feel neglected
