One TikTok dad, Owen Squires, wonders where the neighborhood villages of the ‘90s went.
lived across or down the street from me. I’d run over to their houses pretty much every day, asking if they could come outside and play. We’d run around or ride bikesof the ‘90s went, sharing in a viral TikTok that he’s worried his young daughters won’t have the same kind of experiences we did as kids.“My daughters have very few friends, like they don't have any other kids to play with.
“But dude, I grew up in the ‘90s right? I made a best friend. I still talk to this guy to this day. I met him when I was four years old. He lived at the bottom of my street. I had another friend that I played with that lived right across the street. I don't see any kids out in our neighborhood ever,” he said.“I had eight cousins that I grew up with. We hung out constantly. Or all of my little friends from school. We just like rotated who was gonna hang out at whose house over the weekend.
“What? Am I supposed to knock on somebody's door here? I f**king made you a pie. Can my kids play with your kids? I don't know. I don't really know any of the other parents from their school. Like, do I call them and be like, ‘Hey, can your kid come hang out at my house?’ Like it just sounds creepy ... the way society is now, you want me to come drop my kid off at your house? What do you do? Some kind of weirdo? Maybe it's a dad thing? I don't know.
“my kids are the same way. no friends. you can't trust ppl today. sad but true :( can't let your kids go out and play alone, no sleepovers, no babysitter,” one user wrote.Another echoed, “Yes it is so different now ... those formative neighborhood relationships are gone.”
