Hi Beenlessed - feels like AGES! It's lovely when you're able to 'pop in'!
Parents and kids - yes, in our society today all that they know is what WE did!! And it's true that by the time they're 5yrs old all is set for the rest of their life. What an awesome/scary responsibility we have!
Back in my day we still had aunties and uncles around to learn from. Today it's just Mum and Dad. We had no TV to ruin our young minds. We were taught manners like eat at the table not talk. I listened to my parents' adult conversation and learnt SO MUCH from that. Today the family is all in front of the stupid box instead! I also listened when they talked to friends, work-mates, etc. Back then people actually COMMUNICATED, interacted, and shared.
When I was 20 I had to buy a book to find about about marital sex. Kids today know everything (FAR too much) before they even go to school. Bad, bad TV!!
I'm considering returning to the 1950's...
