Surviving Childhood: Born Between 1920-1979 and the Adventures We Had Growing Up

In summary, the conversation highlights the differences in upbringing and lifestyle of kids who grew up in the 1930s, 40s, 50s, 60s, and 70s compared to the present generation. It discusses how kids from the past survived various challenges and risks, such as riding bikes without helmets, drinking water from the garden hose, and playing outside for hours without supervision. The conversation also touches on the idea of raising a generation of "wusses" and how society has changed for the worse. The participants express their concerns about the entitlement and lack of responsibility in today's youth and the challenges of raising children in today's society.
