I remember when during Summer, parents would kick the kids out of the house during the day, and told them to only come back for Lunch and be back by dinnertime.
I have the urge to do the same to my 11 and 13 year old boy and girl. But the boy is a Boy Scout and plays competitive baseball just about year round so I let the video game binge go a couple of days. My daughter gets up early and goes to her dressage lessons and then heads to dive team practice during the summer...Both kids fish with me on the boat regularly. Then my wife yells at me for telling them to go outside and find something to do...I think it’s all good...she’s off all summer because she teaches.
“......just be home by the time the street lights come on.”
I remember back in da day I used go to park across the street play on monkey bars and swing in 1970s in my neighorhood it was safe
I think start change in 1980s when gang members was shooting each other at the park that got so bad that they even advise don’t allow the kids play in the park themselves
I used go in late morning hour go home for lunch then come back come home in time of dinnertime for me it was 5pm
