Parenting: Then Vs Now.
On The Show
Are there certain things your parents let you do that you won’t let your kids do? On the flip side, are there things that you let your kids do that your parents didn’t let you do? Let us know as the Lunch Break hosts, Art Eddy and Jon Finkel talk about this topic.
What some of our viewers said:
Mick FlyI 100% always reflect on if I was allowed to do something. But, find myself saying “let them learn the lesson” then I sit back and watch.
Christopher BishopThese days I can’t tell you how many parents I’ve watched drop their kids off at practice n take off. It’s ball practice not day care. Lol.
Raul Vela JrParents always taught me nothing good happens after midnight … passing along to my son!
Brittany MacDonald parenting then: way less supervision outdoors but lots more online supervision. Parenting now way more outdoors supervision way less internet supervision.
Shawn Kingbird Grew up in a Broken Home. My Mother and Father split up when I was very young but my Dad was VERY much involved in our lives. My Dad was definitely more Laid Back but expected you to learn from it. My Mother was way more strict because it was just Us in the house.
