There’s no denying it — times and people have drastically changed in a relatively short period of time. Back in the 70s and 80s kids were adventure-seekers. They spent all day outside riding bikes, using their imaginations, socializing, horsing around, and they didn’t come home until the street lights came on.
That was the closest thing to unadulterated freedom that most of us will ever experience.
Back in the 80s, if kids “hated” their parents, mom and dad were fine with that. The only thing 70s and 80s parents cared about was that their child grew up to be a decent citizen who didn’t ruin their life or anyone else’s.
However, these days, the roles are reversed. Parents are now scared to death of their kids, so they coddle and pamper them and cater to every insane whim because they desperately want to be “liked” by their children.
But why the sudden change?
