"Still" might be the wrong word here. Helicopter parenting is more an issue for the post 2000 years and was never this extreme before.
Considering public transportation, good infrastructure to schools or kindergartens was not really available in the 1980s in many German cities.
E.g. my school was a 6km walk with no busses or trains going there and cars not being a thing affordable by the working class. Nobody batted an eye back then.
Today parents drive their kids to school for 1km. That's just wrong.
- chefkoch 9y ago> cars not being a thing affordable by the working class Are you shure you're not talking about the 50s but the 80s?
- walshemj 9y agoMaybe they are refering to the east
- eru 9y agoIn the East it wasn't about affordability in price, but about rationing. You had to wait 18 years for a new car at the end.
- marenkay 9y agoNo, I am referring to the 80s. There were a lot of families without cars there. Probably depends on where you lived but where I lived (500k inhabitants in the city) cars were only for the wealthier.
