[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you kidding b?  You think our childhoods are similar because there is My Little Pony?

I was left to my owns devices every day from the age of 5.   I don’t care that my kid can watch the Flintstones and so did I: our lives are NOTHING alike.

Ummm no that was just an example.   Another example:  the emphasis on organized sports and extracurriculara in school.  I don’t think that was a thing in the 1950s?   But definitely a thing in the 1980s[/quote]

Let me add/.  It definitely wasn’t a thing for girls in the 1950s!   So my parents being faced with all that for me, a girl, in the 1980s, faced a new type of childhood.  [/quote]

Not so many serious sports for girls in the 50s, but my mom played half court basketball, was active in the Catholic Youth Organization and parish activities, and did theatre at school. She also did swim, art, and sewing lessons. Weird to think about it now, because her family was super dysfunctional.[/quote]
