Kids these days don't seem to have much of a childhood. My fondest memories are summers where I would disappear late morning on my bike with friends, go on an adventure, and not come home until dinner time.
Now it seems childhood is filled with sports practice, homework, summer camp, and fortnite.

The difference I note is we spend a lot more time together as a family, whereas when I was a kid it was more with friends. I'm not sure it's a bad thing, I wished I had spent more time with my dad.
