I miss not feeling my lifestyle and freedom threatened by political correctness. I miss not having to watch American society melting down.
I also miss growing up in a neighborhood where your friends' moms were kind of surrogate moms for all the kids. In most ways I miss my childhood in general; especially my teen years and being 18 and knowing that I was very alive, full of something which included the concept of energy but which was much more.
You can say that again!
From some of the kids I see I wish their parents would act like parents. Some of these kids seem almost on their own. Having to take care of themselves and feeding themselves while their parents are out doing who knows what.
When my daughter's friends are around they are treated like my own kids. Some ar so happy to get a home cooked meal and dessert, and seem surprised when an adult makes sure they are happy and cares what they say and think
They call me either dad or coach.
