If you lived in town where I grew up you had to walk to school, only the kids outside of town rode the bus. We were walking almost 3 miles to middle school and 2 miles to the high school where our house was. In elementary I was walking right around a mile.
Most kids and young adults are pussies these days because of shit like this, and it's weird because their parents usually experienced the same shit you and I did. There are way too many warning labels and there's way to much coddling in America.
Yep my wife was guilty of this with our daughter, we literally lived three houses down from the school and my wife would drive her there. It took longer to get in and out of the school parking lot then if she would have just walked. I got tired of arguing with her about it.
I went through the exact same thing with our kids. Wife thought the little babies had to be picked up and delivered 5 blocks to school, I said the walk to school was good socialization time for the kids.
Agreed, we got into so much shit walking, snowball fights, stopping at the corner deli to grab a pop and swedish fish, we would start with like a group of ten just walking and talking, kids would split off to different streets as we went by, till it was just you walking into the house.
probably, for sure same time frame
Same here. I didn't walk quite as far but it was easily 1.5 miles to my middle school and 2-miles to my high school...................Up hill both ways.
I would assume
