[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I definitely did watch a ton of TV in the early 90s. I was a latchkey kid from first grade, came home and watched TV continuously until my parents got home and then I'd watch with them after dinner. I probably watched four or five hours of TV a day.[/quote] I remember my mom limiting TV time once I became a latchkey kid in the 90s. I wanted to watch Full House after school and she'd check the back of the TV to feel if it was warm when she got home. So I started going over a neighbor's house and watching it there. I'm sure she had her reasons, but all my brain remembers is trying to figure out how long the TV had to be off to cool back down. [/quote] 🤣🤣 love this [/quote] I remember my friend wasn’t allowed to use the stove when her mom wasn’t home. She really wanted some spaghettio’s, so she heated them on the gas stove. When she was done, she took the grates and threw them out the window into the snow so they would cool down fast before her mom got home. She went out to get them then trampled the area with her feet so her mom wouldn’t see the marks from the grates in the snow 😂[/quote] That's quite impressive. 1) heating a meal and using a can opener (or was it the pop top?) and 2) covering tracks to hide the evidence. Most kids wouldn't know how to turn on the stove and would order food from Uber Eats or something rather than try to figure out the stove and the steps that would be necessary after. Forget knowing how to use a can opener, that's a bridge too far.[/quote] Many kids do cook now. Master Chef Jr made it trendy to teach kids to cook, and Youtube and "learning towers" made teaching toddlers to cook a thing too.[/quote]
