It seems that so many adults (including myself) look back fondly at our "free range" childhood, so recently some friends of mine (mostly younger than me) and I were trying to pinpoint when it ended. We figured probably some time around 1990, give or take a couple of years. Is there anybody here would feels they didn't grow up with a lot of freedom to roam as a kid? When would that have been?

Same story here, I grew up in the city but we would be gone playing and riding bikes for hours, just had to be home by dark.

I was at a dr. office yesterday and next to me was a young girl with her mom (maybe 16ish), she asked her mom if caucasian was the right one to mark for her ethnicity, her mom said yes. A few minutes later she made the comment that she had never had 'such and such feeling' until now that she is pregnant. Wow! A girl that has no idea what ethnicity she is, is about to bring life into this world.

I think the point that so many dumb kids started having kids was the point that childhood changed. Just mho.
