There’s two different ideas forming in this thread - one is the “when I was a kid” mentality.
The other one though, the one that interests me, is what happened to MY generation that I see so many people my age raising kids in such an over-protective, paranoid, sissy-state mentality. Maybe that element has always existed, I don’t know...but there’s something absurd and surreal about being told your kid, who rides a tricycle slower than they can run, should have a helmet on, otherwise they will suffer a grievous concussion.
