At 67 I grew up when we didn’t have school cafeterias and we took a sack lunch, and bought a 5 cent half pint of milk. Ate at our desk, then went out side on non rain days for exercise, plus the 2 fifteen minute periods for recess. Gym on rainy days.

Those were the good old days. Bologna or peanut butter sandwiches, and a couple of cookies your mom made.

Need to bring it back.

Assume you meant “In 67”...

Ya, Mom was HOME.
Kids SHARED BEDROOMS.
We PLAYED WITH SIBLINGS AND FRIENDS
NOT
THOUSANDS OF DOLLAR worth of toys.
Schools taught USEFUL SUBJECTS.

Ah, the time when govt didn’t reach into EVERY aspect of ones’ lives and wallet.

Where one head of household could earn enough to: support the family, buy a car, have a TV, save for college, go on vacation, save for retirement, have spending $$, etc. etc. etc.

As those in my age group (40’s) or younger a simple question: Why can you NOT have children where one of you stays home to raise, but instead ‘pawn off’ into daycare , pay $1000+/mo, etc.?

I HIGHLY doubt govt would come to mind....or it would take MANY minutes to formulate that train of thought: work => $$ => taxes => govt => less $$
