I’m early Gen-X. We were mostly feral.
I forgot to mention how you guys and even we late boomers also got the "joys" of no-fault divorce and widespread drug abuse.
Same here being an X. My parents were Silent Generation and Boomer mix and were there for us but both had to work to make ends meet so when we hit five or six they would fix breakfast and tell us to stay in the house or yard unless we went to our great grandparents house next door for lunch. We were pretty much on our own until they got home. We learned to make lunches and entertain ourselves. It also allowed for a lot of knock down drag outs among the siblings.
