[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think she was 3, but she could have been 6? The expectations in the 50s, 60s and even 70s (and forget about the decades before that when little kids worked in sweat shops!) were more less hands-on raising kids. I definitely grew up in an out of sight, out of mind household. As long as we showed up for dinner all was good.[/quote] She’s told this story for years. Maybe 20 years. Assuming it’s true, what are the implications? Also, she grew up in a very safe and idyllic neighborhood. It was a city bus but likely a short trip lasting less than 10 minutes I suspect [/quote] The implications are that the other adults in her very safe, idyllic neighborhood were watching out for her. And she was probably either closer to 4-- or even 4 and closer to 5. But it's not unheard-of. My mom was doing the family dishes as soon as her sister was born (no dishwasher). She wasn't quite 4.
