Parents today wrap children in bubblewrap but your parents did things differently

People can say “things were different then” when they talk about how you grew up, but looking back parents had to know that some of this stuff was not the greatest idea.  Nevertheless, as some parents nowadays try to wrap the world in bubble wrap it’s still grat fun to see what we all survived as kids.  On this Christmas Eve it’s nice to have a look back before the crazy hustle and bustle of tomorrow kicks in.

Would you change anything about your childhood? Did you think parents are too careful nowadays? Do you treat your grandkids differently than you were treated as a kid besides the obvious ones that have become laws like seatbelts?
