Strings? You over there pretending the latchkey generation didn't happen or something? Waking up to an empty house with $5 and a note on the kitchen table was hardly remarkable bitd. The entire point of the exercise is for there to be -no- presence, forcing kids to work through stuff on their own.

- bcrosby95 3y agoLatchkey is a historical anomaly due to atomic families transitioning into dual income households leaving no adults at home and not knowing what to do with their kids. When my mother grew up there was always an adult at home - her mom. Same with her parents. Same with my mother-in-law. You also don't have to go too far back, just 150 years, to when children were largely used for labor. Childhood itself is a relatively new invention. The idea that kids sat around doing nothing but getting in trouble with other kids all day is just wrong.
