[quote=Anonymous]People seem to be touting some picture of childhood from when I was growing up in the 80s as a latchkey kid. Back then we played outside, played pick up games, roamed by the creek, busted into a construction site. This kind of thing does not happen nowadays in DCUM approved neighborhoods. Kids are going straight from school to swim or math or dance, or they come home to eat a snack before heading to soccer practice twice a week. If both parents work inflexible hours, the kid is in aftercare. On the weekends, surely, these kids will roam around outside just being bored and looking for other kids, right? Well no, because they've got soccer games or dance competitions or taekwondo. And you can't be outside by yourself anyway, some middle aged mom careening down the street in a white suburban will run you right over without so much as tapping the brakes.[/quote]
