My neighbor and I discuss these things all the time. Yes, I'm a child of the 80's, but even the little amount of time back was so different from today. Not that long ago, she was telling me what she had seen a person do with thier kids and we started discussing how if it were us, we would not have done that. She does have 2 girls and a boy on the way while I don't have any kids right now. However, it was just so weird to sit there and discuss the things that we could feel free to do in those days that we wouldn't even think about letting our kids do today because of how the world has changed. It was just really weird to find this thread then today. It makes you so warm to remember those days and it's kind of scarey of what's to some because of what has become in the last 20 years!
