Well kids are pretty much priced out of
society now. For example, look at th
cost just to go to a movie at your
local movie theater. Not even to get
the concessions. Just the tickets. If
you live in a rural place you can still
get a semblance of that old traditional
American upbringing, but I think it's
just about dead everywhere else. I'm a
millenial, I was at least still able to
be able to ride my bike a few mile away
to the mall, watch a movie and be
independent with money I got helping
out friend's familie and every once in
a blue moon going to my buddy's house
toward the edge town that had horses
and such, and helpin there for odd
money. Shitty fast food job BARELY
covered that as well. But that was back
in 2005-2007. Nothing has been the same
since the ol' recession. And even then
it was already going away. It's little
wonder parents just make the one time
phone investment to "keep track of my
kids" and then the kids ultimately have
fuck all they can really do outside of
that once they are older than 7.
