[quote=Anonymous]I think the key thing that you may be forgetting... is how boring it was to an adult when we were little.

There was no internet and endless online social outlets, no texting friends or facetiming relatives, no watching every sports event going on throughout the country, no monitoring every sports game score, no every song ever invented at your fingertips, no online porn lol, no dating apps, no every movie and tv show ever created at your fingertips with hundreds of new items constantly coming up.  Also, if an adult wasn't at work there was no laptop or cell phone they felt like they needed to keep checking.  There was no work outside of work.

Adults had... reading and watching Dallas.  lol.  But seriously, adults sought out other adults for company because there was NOTHING else to do.  Hanging out with other adults eating pretzels and drinking miller lite while the kids run off and entertain each other might be the social highlight of your week!

I feel like the internet has drastically changed all of this.  That's the real reason things are different.  [/quote]
