[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We live in a city so it's a little different - less freedom when they're little (no backyard) but more freedom when they're in middle school than suburban kids get. I was shocked at the 6 yr old who isn't allowed to use a butter knife though - that is just ridiculous. [/quote] Don’t generalize about suburban kids. I’m the PP who has posted about how much freedom the kids in my suburban neighborhood have.[/quote] Letting them run around after school in the neighborhood isn't the same as them taking a bus to a train to go across a city.[/quote] Elitist, aren’t we? In my neighborhood, it’s possible to take a bus to the metro and get into DC fairly quickly. Independence via transportation is 100% possible for these kids.[/quote]
