[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I visited rural Nepal and the 5-6 year olds were looking after the one year olds. It can blow your mind when you're used to the DMV.[/quote] This was the norm in the rural/lower-middle-class South where my mom grew up too (in the 1960s). There was usually an adult sort of nearby but not paying attention. [/quote] My neighbor is very “free range” and her 8 and 10yr olds are always carting their 15mo old sister around in a wagon or just carrying her across the street with them. [/quote] Sounds like my old neighbor but the older kids were like 7 and 5. I am pretty free range myself but it was too much, I often saw the older boy being a jerk to the younger ones.[/quote]
