Shout-out to my fellow latchkey kids! 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!?" Me: 😑
@@crojazz it's a gay joke, stereotypically gays like musicals and theatre and back in the day people used to believe you could catch STDS from toilet seats.
So relatable. I grew up in the 70’s but both parents worked so we had a few hours to ourselves. It was our normal. Nobody swooping in at 3:15 PM to chauffeur us to some extracurricular activity or a “play date” 😂
By the time I was in high school I had taught myself how to cook dinner for myself. Once my mom discovered this, then I was making dinner for her most nights so that it would be ready when she got home from work.
I can feel the neglect from here. Former latch key kid (2nd grade) not by choice, but necessity (single mother). Sometimes I wonder how our generation survived. Surviving is not the same as thriving.
It was easy, minus forgetting your key and waiting on the porch for 3 hours til someone came home. Other than that, you make some horrible food and watch tv, maybe do your homework.
Yeah. I barely ate food and almost drank any water. I had very little adult supervision from age 5 onward; sometimes being home alone overnight. This wasn't that uncommon in the 80s and 90s.
I was born in 1995 and had the exact same upbringing. Single mother as well. So much fun roaming the neighborhood after school doing shit I wasn't supposed to. I think there's latchkey kids in any generation. Especially since daycare is so expensive.
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.
Completely relatable content. I can’t even begin to explain how relatable this is. I was a latchkey trailer park kid. I ate Bean with Bacon soup and Beefaroni.
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.
Oh, Mommy! Technically I am the super early end of being a millennial but I've been 100% latch-key since 2nd grade. I raised my damn self and you better believe I'm coming up in May!
I'm speechless. Christina is unbelievably talented, with amazing delivery. Her. content oozes truth and creativity. No cheap shots, no click bait about sex or race, just real observations delivered with uncanny skill and perfect timing. Thank you. raphael nyc
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.
Yep, I was born in 1995 though. Such good times. Roaming the neighborhood doing shit we weren't supposed to. Great memories. Latchkey kids exist in any generation... especially since daycare is so expensive... especially for single moms.
Ate age 8-10 on school daze, I was home alone 2 hrs+ a day. Momz was 30 something miles away or more working. In summer...home alone 8 or so hours. My babysitter was NES with ROB and the VHS tape that made me the cussing sailor I am today (48 hrs., Eddie Murphy Delirious and Ghostbusters). Yup, frozen Totinos, Chef Boyardee, frozen beef patties in the skillet and Smuckers Goober Grape!
@@jzen1455 Robotic Operating Buddy. Eventually we just pushed the gyro platform for ROB to move things faster. Yes sir, the OG Nes was gyromite and duck hunt. Mario Bros came later, in other sets.
May I please offer a heartfelt apology. I knew you were funny by association...but holey shit, you're fuggin' hilarious! You need to make another special please
Most jokes about millennials really described Gen Z more than it does my generation, Gen X and millennials born in the 80’s had virtually identical upbringings especially if you black and grew up poor while living in the country 😆
When I was 5 and my brother was 10 we were latchkey kids in the early 80's and I distinctly remember flicking matches at gas soaked army men in the yard 😂
Yup. Latchkey 6 year old here. Took the bus and underground subway across Toronto alone every weekend at age 7. (1987) There was gangs of us. Nobody had cellular phones to snitch on us.
Latchkey from age 5 and up and home alone overnight. I am many of my friends also had very little adult supervision, so we all were feral together making sense of the world and how to be.
I’m a millennial grew up in the 90s. I walked home from school at 7. Had my own key at 8. Had the place to myself at 12. But then again, I’m an immigrant lol
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!!!
Born in 1972. I still remember coming home from school at 10 years old with my "key" and cooking eggs for the first time by myself and burned the shit out of everything. No one told me you couldn't cook eggs on an electric stove with the burner on high after preheating the pan for 6 minutes until the pan glowed red!!
Aids, Crack Cocaine and "Friends" She got a laugh from me in the first 20 seconds. 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. Same Christina, not enough Cheese!!
Precisely. 1995 kid here, same upbringing. Didn't even have a key with me, our door was always unlocked. The facial expressions of my parents when I tell them about things I used to do as a kid is priceless. They had no clue about any of it.
As a latchkey kid, I can only say this: Yup. But casserole in lieu of frozen pizza, and sometimes not even at my house (but at the neighbor's). My parents were working hard...it takes a village.
Born in '64. Both parents worked. Former latchkey kid from K-12.The rules were simple- the food is in the kitchen, don't burn the house down, dont die.
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.
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.

Right on. Gen X kids raised ourselves. Little guidance. Mom would forget to pick me up at places.
Ya'know what dawned on me at this moment, the test for knowing if a parent is a good parent is their child does not die.
Nah that is the bare minimum, the true test is wheter your children as adults still like you.
