[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is funny. I grew up in the 70's. I was about 8 yo my mom ran to the store left me alone with my 11 month old brother. He fell down the stairs and I had to call an ambulance (no 911). My mom came home shocked to see an ambulance etc. but everyone praised me for calling for help. My brother was fine but I thought I was going to get in big trouble. I was left to take care of my brother all the time even after that! also, back then no car seats. Mom drove carpool for montessori with 3-4 kids in the back seat, not sure we even wore seat belts. times sure have changed![/quote] Yes - times sure have changed. Your mom would have been in trouble for child endangerment and you and your siblings would have been shipped to foster homes if all of the above happened in present time.[/quote]
