Parents Today Have it So Much Harder Over the Summer Than Ours Did and Here’s Why
Instead of mom slathering us with sunscreen, we burned, then peeled our damaged skin like molting snakes.
Instead of sensible snacks, we'd ride our bikes to 711 to purchase fists-full of Jolly Ranchers and Atomic Fire Balls.Advertisement The adults in our families were never exactly sure of our whereabouts -- nor did they particularly care. It was all up to us. We made friends. We made good decisions. We made bad decisions. We made our own fun. It's too risky. If your children want social time, it must be by way of organized sports, or expensive day camp, or a play date wherein all mommies attend and make awkward small talk so that they can keep an eye on things.There are Amber alerts, and scary true crime documentaries, and who knows what that kid down the street is looking at on his computer! We have to keep our kids safe.
