    So much fun getting out of school and being entirely unsupervised, roaming the neighborhood doing shit we weren't supposed to! My mom when she hears my crazy stories now that I'm older: "How did I not know about any of this!?"

    The Joys of being a Latchkey kid. Born in 75. I remember all this she said. Laughed my ass off. As a Latchkey kid, I knew how make enough things to survive on my own due to both parents teaching me how to cook simple stuff. Poptarts and Cereal was a must in the house. Since both my parents worked. Plus they were party animals lol. Yea I was used to being home alone during the weekends lol.

    The weirdest PSA that I remember from the 1970s showed adults what to do with discarded refrigerators. Apparently we kids kept playing hide 'n' seek with our friends and locking ourselves in unused refrigerators and suffocating ourselves. To prevent these deaths, adults either needed to 1. Chain the door shut, 2. Block the door so it won't close, or 3. Remove the door completely. To this day I still can't figure out why that was such a big deal back then and why it isn't now.

    Home alone from 4 years old until past midnight was the norm for me in the 80s and 90s. I walked everywhere alone or with other kids from that age as well including to and from school. Most of my friends were latchkey kids too. I ate lots of TV dinners and frozen pizzas too. That's considered child abuse these days.

    Latchkey kid from grade 4 on…when my parents relocated us to NJ from central PA…culture shock…my dad took a job in NYC to make more money…little did he know the cost of living in this God-forsaken money pit, hole state…I still live in said state…ate through his pay increase and required my mother to go back to work .
    After school hours RULED!!!! The cartoons rocked. If you had a bike, you had wings and freedom. We played pick up games of baseball, football, dodge ball, kickball, freeze tag for hours on end…or until the street lights came on. We were self sufficient and we looked out for each other. We learned how to be social and the pack policed it’s own if someone was acting like a jackass. Most kids today will never know this phenomenon until they are well into their high school years…I have a friend who is afraid to let her sophomore son and senior daughter home alone…she takes the day off from work on days that they are both home from school🙄.
    As for me as a parent…I worked 2 jobs sometimes 3. My wife is a professional as well. We had no choice but to put my son in daycare from the time he was 6 months old until he went to kindergarten. My job gave me summers off, but for the first few years, I worked the summers and still sent my kid to daycare. We started to leave him home alone for short stints when he was in 4th grade. By sixth grade we would leave him home alone for a few hours at night. By 8th grade he was completely adjusted to being home alone.
    If one doesn’t have to leave their kid home alone….don’t. But for some of us, it was a necessity and it shaped many of us. Many of today’s kids just don’t have any of the resiliency, grit, self reliance, and ingenuity, that past generations have because their parents have snowplowed, lawnmowed, helicoptered these kids and they are at a disadvantage. These kids suffer from anxiety, social awkwardness far beyond what is normal. They are school phobic and have almost no regard for authority figures. And there is virtually no work ethic at all because they have been given EVERYTHING!!! Yet many can’t function at the most basic levels of common sense. I’ll take the Depression generation and latchkey generation over this one..hands down!!!

    Latchkey, is was basically like that. Get out of school, run home because you knew your Parents weren't home. No one was allowed in the house except your closest friend that your Mom personally knew. Eat cereal and watch cartoons until they drove up about 6pm. This was before the internet so there were no online games. And that Mac and Cheese joke, that's when I learned how to fend for myself, I had to learn to make Mac'n'Cheese by myself.

      I watched this thinking what you did, but it’s comedy so every setup has to be some broad stroke like: “you woman are all the same.. something something here’s an observation that does apply to some woman, but certainly not all, and not even just woman” It’s bogus, but it’s a proven format we call stereotyping. People seem to like it.

      True but an exception doesn’t mean much. Most 90’s kids weren’t latchkey. They also didn’t just go places on their own.

    Use a Kraft cheese slice in your Mac n cheese after you use that powder. It solves that problem you were talking about!

    I was a latchkey kid but it was a school program called latchkey. From 3-5pm. We walked to and from school all year round regardless of weather. We played outside regardless of weather. We had a commercial that ran after 8 that went, It's 9pm do you know your kids are? It was a better time. I remember getting brought home by the cops cuz we got on top of the school shining a pocket laser into people's houses, I was 9.
