[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree re times being different - and it being a very relevant difference that there were a lot more SAHM's in our youth. I remember we had a sign in a front window that had a red hand on it which meant that if a child got into trouble he/she should come to our house. Lots of houses with SAHM's had them inthe window. [b](Don't know if that was a NJ thing or what!)[/b] I had a convo with my child the other day re which neighbor's house he should go to if he ever gets locked out of our house, and I could not think of one house on our block where a parent would be home during the day![/quote] In VA the signs had a house with a star(?) in the window. :-) I also knew which neighbor's house to go to if I ever got locked out. My parents still have keys to 2 different neighbor's houses. One of the kids from down the street came to their house not too long ago to get the key. A lot of houses that have garages also have those keypads to open the door. [/quote]
