I’m so glad I grew up when I did. Sis and I did ALL of that kind of stuff. Thanks, Mom! Thanks, Dad! :)
Someone asked what happened. I think we all know what happened. The ‘brave new world’ of the Nazi-nanny state. Federal take over of local communities — The Department of Education as just one example.
They pushed out the family and now parents rights are near non-existent. Not to mention the time a working parent actually gets to be with their children.
Mandatory pre-preschool starting earlier and earlier all the time. Last I heard they wanted to start them off at 2 and 3 now. I wonder if soon they will take them at birth to cut down on ‘home influences’. A parent and freedom are things they want to erase. If a parent can be ‘anyone’ then the birth parent is of no special standing.
What we experienced growing up, what gave us common sense and liberty loving spirits, is exactly what they hope to rob our children of.
