Hell back in the day, if you were not doing chores we were banned from the house except mealtimes. Nobody watched or really cared where we went or what we were doing. The only exception was when we were sick, that staying in the house was ok.

That is the sad thing about t.vs, computers and video games, is now the opposite is the norm. Part of being a kid is being outside and exploring and doing goofy stuff, for the good and the bad. That was one way we learned all kinds of stuff. This society has gone overboard on the fear thing. There is a thing to be said about growing up 'overprotected'! Imho.
