do you remember when playing outside til mom had to call you in for dinner was the 'in' thing? building forts and playing tag with the neighborhood kids? hardly ever being in the house at all? we didn't need cell phones...we played dodgeball and kickball i think my life as a child was so much better than kids have today...always inside worried about predators..no real freedom...i never see kids building forts anymore or neighborhoods playing games together..it's kinda sad...no wonder kids are growing up so fast...when are they really getting to be kids?

You have a point, but I believe that thing like this still exist, but only in younger children and very sparsely.

It is very sad. I liked being able to do all those things but now panick when I don't hear from my kids. My husband always reminds that I never called home while I was playing we just came home when it was time. I always come back with we don't live in that world anymore. It's hard for parents and sad for the children. I wish it was different for them

Well, I am not over 30. I am 28, but I still got to have some of those times and remember them being really fun times for me..
and now I have children and I can see things are differant.. my kids are not out here worried about cell phones or anything but just the way the world is today keeps them from being able to be free and run and play and be out until the street lights come on... not only are their sexual preditors we have to worry about but we have those people who feel they can just grab a weapon and use it on anyone any time for anything.. its too sad..
now days if someone thinks someone looked at them funny their is a fight or a shooting or something..
Its hard to let my kids walk out the door because someone out their is always doing something or saying something.. its too bad they cant have fun like we could..
things have just gotten crazy..

i wish i had the money i'd start remember when summer camps lol safe places to run and play be safe.. maybe i'll win the lottery lol nature would provide the entertainment but the security you'd need would break the bank...so sad
