who do you think had the best childhood

I really believe it was my generation. Growing up in the 60's was very interesting and exciting. People weren't in such a hurry to get no place. Life was calmer. Less vehicles. Most mom's didn't work and were at home with the children. Kids didn't get into trouble as they do today. Overall, I am so glad I had the opportunity to grow up in the midwest during this period of time.

hi derry! i dunno. i am not sure. we lived a pretty simple life before. and i was still very happy. i enjoyed climbing trees, walks in the ride paddies, picking fruits, playing jackstone etc. we had tv, but i was disciplined to watch only until a certain time at night. but i was happy. and looking back, i missed my childhood. nowadays, children are more exposed to technology--computers, psp, tv, dvd, cellphone, ipods, pda, etc. etc. but i dunno if we can say that they are better. more have health problems, etc. but one thing for certain, there is more pressure on parents nowadays to give these luxury items to their kids because they see them in school and from other kids and from the tv. i am expecting a child in a couple of months, our firstborn, and i am thinking, what would the trend be when she gets older? but for me, i miss the old simple life. take care and God bless you! happy mylotting!

I don't think my childhood is good.I think it depends on the family,rather than generation.

I think my generation has the best childhood because we are so much concern about decency and morality rather than todays generation. When I was still a kid, I remember my parents and grandparents telling us to obey their rules and never do such drastic move to ruin our reputation, we never allowed to watch TV much more movies, so we are contented with fairytale books and music in the house. We grew up abiding the basic rule of Christianity: God-fearing, respectful to the elders and valuing other people. But now I noticed how these principles missing with todays children, they are wild, hard-headed, disrespectful to elders and to their parents and most of all love parties in nasty places. When I get married and have children, I will follow the kind of upbringing my family gave me, it is more simple and God-fearing, modest and decent.

If I generalise , I think it was our generation. This is because although there is more things to enjoy for todays kids, they just don't enjoy that much since their parents willnot be caring for them as much as we were cared for by our parents. Also there are more possibilties for a child to go in the wrong way than in our times. But it all depend on who the kid is and where he is living. If he has a ntural taste for being happy then it is difficult for him to make his childhood a bad memory in an average environement. If he is born in a well disciplined family and have a more caring and loving parents than ours , he will be having a better childhood than ours.
