What is something kids do/have today that was never a thing for you as a child?

I'll go first...PLAY DATES. It is funny to me how this term is always used now, I'll call their mom to set a play date up, or can I have a play date with so and so. We just saw who was around and hung out!

@BloviatingBuffoon I was forced to take a walk in the forest with parents most of Sundays and hated it in my pre-teens. Now I'm grateful they did it.
@CrazyMusicLover I think it’s cool too but I was afraid then bec my kid is still a bit young (4) but they teach them so many stuff so I’m a bit relieved . However whenever he comes home, muddy shoes etc 😱

@BloviatingBuffoon Just be sure that people who take them are truly responsible and have common sense. There was a case here when kids were taken outdoors from school despite the bad weather forecast for the day and sadly, one boy died when a dry branch fell on him. The forecast clearly said it was going to be windy and of all places, they took them to the area full of old trees.
@CrazyMusicLover yeah they usually cancel if it’s too windy and rainy etc. I’m still worried though

I suppose when it was safer most of us were just out playing in the woods after school@BloviatingBuffoon
