I'm curious, how old are you?
I'm 35 and had pretty much the exact same experience, but I also chalk a lot of that up to living out in the boonies.
51 Born in 74. Dead smack in the middle of GenX. Parents had me when they were real young. To be fair, they are good parents. We were pretty poor, they got divorced and should have never married in the first place, and they do all the boomer things that drives everyone crazy. But, they cared about me and my sister, gave us more than they could afford and we deserved, and I think I had more love from them than most kids got.
But boy-when it came to making decisions about safety. Man, what was considered normal and ok just blows my mind. ;)
