Strangely enough, the movie E.T. comes to my mind. It is a movie of my 'era' and it depicted a loose (normal) parenting style.
Of course it was fiction, but still.
- JustSomeNobody 9y agoNot fiction for me[0]. This was pretty much us. We could go where ever. And yeah, my folks parenting style was a bit... loose. But I was never one to get into trouble really, so there was some trust built up there. [0] Except the alien thing.
- bg4 9y agoBorn in 1977. When in elementary school I would leave in morning, come home for lunch, come back for dinner, come back when getting dark. I would ride my bike all over the neighborhood, play in the creek, play in the woods, etc. Just like the kids in Stranger Things. If I let my elementary age children do that today the police would be called. My sister has had neighbors call because her kids were playing in their front yard. It's a 100% sad and ridiculous situation. We're raising an imprisoned generation who can't handle anything. How is staring at a glowing screen all day a childhood? EDIT: I suppose I should tone down my rhetoric but this really worries me.
