It was during school and a pediatrician would never recommend something like this now lol. Plenty if medical professionals were against it at the time too. The vaccine was out by the time I was a teen. We could have waited it out.

That didn’t make it ok to have kids hang out with a sick kid so they’d also get sick 😐

I’m a victim of “chickenpox parties” from the 80s. Some parents are just stupid assholes that refuse to accept you don’t have to make the immune system a punching bag to make it stronger

Now I’m at a higher risk for severe shingles. Yay!! Thanks mom!

I don’t see why you couldn’t just get vaccinated. No harm even if you were previously.

My mom’s record keeping of my vaccinations as a kid was a shit show so I ended up just getting the ones I wasn’t sure about later in life when I found out she might have skipped some 🙄

Too bad it was so close range too. She might have had a chance because their aim was probably just as shit as acorn cop’s considering how poorly trained they clearly are 😕

Far too many for me to have any kind of faith in the embarassing joke that is our police force.

I read there’s also a disclaimer that the shoes you get may not be exactly what you see on display there lmao. $400 and you might not even get that version of hideous

1. This is a privilege a lot of city kids don’t have
2. No to fires lmao wtf
3. They only did that stuff because there was literally nothing else to do. Not because it was more fun.

Under the bridge is where the junkies hang out and you’re a shit patent if you want your kids messing around construction sites lmao

Ew you talk with your mouth full

So then parents should just not get their kid a smartphone and stop trying to police everyone else’s kids. It really is that simple

I grew up in the 90s and my entire childhood neighborhood is concrete now. The overgrown wash where we built forts is gone. The desert surrounding the area? Gone. It’s just roads, shitty apartment buildings, and cement for miles. Maybe it didn’t change for you but my kids could never grow up the same way that I did there. Most of the more wild areas are gone. Banished to the outskirts of town now. Hell, we don’t even really have sidewalks and hardly anything is walkable due to traffic. It has everything to do with cars in plenty of places. There is literally nowhere for kids to be kids within walking distance of me now either.

It’s like when someone leaves a real asshole comment and then goes “I’m being brigaded!!!” lol. Naw lil buddy. You’re not that important people just saw your comment and thought you were being a jerk

I would guess that most of them consider themselves homeless. Especially if they’re living in those makeshift tent cities. Either way, they are homeless if they don’t have an address.

It’s not a lifestyle if it’s not by choice. Try finding a job without an address. The people that do it as a “lifestyle” are usually just wealthy turds or social media dweebs larping as happy families on the road despite their kids being obviously miserable

No.

There were after school programs when I was a kid too and I wasn’t in a small town. Just depends on where you are I guess. We’d start in the cafeteria with a small snack and then go to the playground for a while before hanging out in the gym goofing off and watching movies until we got picked up

Shut up 🙄

What’s this even supposed to mean? What a weird thing to say let alone think

So then go do it instead of bitching about other people doing it? Wtf?
