[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My childhood was more like the 1930s (living on a farm, no tv, homemade clothes, not a lot of stuff). In some ways my kid's life is more like her great-grandparents-living in a working class city neighborhood.[/quote] This is a really interesting point. My grandfather grew up in tenements, and I asked him once when I was little ( after a fun touristy trip into the city) of he didn’t miss living in the exciting big city. He said “ and have people on top below next to you all the time? The noise alone would drive me crazy!and the smells!” He was very proud of his suburban house. He’d probably think I was crazy to be voluntarily living in a city apt now (although to be fair, it is far from a tenement).[/quote] My great grandfather, too, said not to romanticize the past because it was smelly. He was being funny but I'm sure there is truth to it.[/quote]
