It is only different if you let it be. I grew up in the 80s and it is no different today. With 2 involved parents, you shape your child’s values. My child has the same environment and rules I did.
I understanding about personal rearing of a child but I know that my son and his friends could ride their bikes until dusk and then had to be home. Our neighborhood was full of kids in the streets playing ball riding bikes etc. Maybe today that would be child abuse but for the kids it was freedom.
