Same in the 60’s and 70’s. We are living in an idiocracy. Speak out. Bring common sense back to our Republic. Be kind. Always. Out lies and evil. Always.
I had a paper route at 10, rode my bike everywhere from dawn to dusk, no cell phones, BB gun wars at abandoned internment camp, fishing, hunting, bowling, arcades, football & basketball games, mowed grass for old ladies on my paper route, shoveled snow, climbed cranes and phone towers, jumped off bridges, jumped trains, picked up bottles and cans to cash in for movies or arcades, always on the hustle, it was a great time to be alive .. Be home before the street lights came on or that was ur a$$!! We lived more life before puberty than a Y or Z does at 35
Da besssssst ❤ I love this! What a difference from now and then huh? 80's baby here and WE DID IT ALL! ..and like many said...we were TOLD to get out of the house and LIVE!
@@vanessakeller4543on doing it on my 1985 blue and yellow Huffy BMX!!!! 3 miles from St Paul MN, Harriet island steep double boat ramp on the Mississippi River, the people would give me a pop or candy bar for holding the boats, especially the single guys when he got the trailer, but Saturday early if you got the speed boat group going to beer can island, it would be hydrostream's and Alison's checkmate speed boats up to ten somedays, and a couple of guys would say before the beer and girls, iam giving the kid a ride , full speed, pass by the ramp the best time every who needs Disneyland.
Dang, were we neighbors? 😂 I swear we did all those things in my neighborhood too. I was born in 70 and I am so thankful I was. We were free to run the streets back then with our friends.
Where I grew up the neighbors would yell at you if you did something dumb. If you really messed up your parents would know before you got home then you get your ass beat. That mother did nothing wrong
I'm 56, grew up in SC. Life was wonderful back in the 70s!! I could ride my bike 20 or 30 miles from home, but I better have my ass in the house when the sun went down!!
@@ajstevens1037I preferred walking. Find more shit to do. If you wanted to go somewhere you rode your bike or you had a rope to tie to your buddy while you were on a skateboard 😂 Edit: ...yes.. I had a cord I would put right under the bike seat and getting started he would pedal and I would push and once speed was achieved it was chill. Down hill was different. Rocks would literally floor me 😂😂😂 2nd edit: not even a rock. Like a small pebble would throw me onto the ground. Thanks gravity!!! Lol
I'm 38 and to this day my mom has no idea how far we were sometimes from home ages 9-13ish. When Adam said we went to other towns, he wasn't kidding. We went to other towns, played on the railroad tracks and in a very dangerous creek using common sense of how not to play in the dangerous creek. We all lived and were home for dinner.
And if you're not home when the street lights come on, your father has something for you when you get home! There we way to many fun summers where I got that belt. Wouldn't trade that for anything.
I grew up in the country, like Adam we went out to play we stayed gone till supper. At 10 we worked everyday, after school, summer all day long all but Sunday, I bet kids couldn't hack it today.
yup that would be me. my son ignored me when I told him we were leaving the mall (small one). I think he was around 10, weather was fine. I left with my younger daughter and drove home. 9.7 miles for him to get home. One of his teachers actually saw him walking and brought him home, no shaming or discussion. I raised all 3 right, hard workers, honest, and don't take no BS. I'm vintage and growing up we left the house in the morning in the summer and never came home till supper. This was NORMAL. We found all kinds of stuff to do. That was in the 60's. It's just sad to see kids today.
I was born 96 and did the same. I remember when my friend and I were not even 14 but he drove his moms car down the road to a gas station to get pop then got his mom some smokes because everyone in that town knew each other😂😂😂
When I was a kid in the 80s I would get a note from my aunt to go to the store and get cigarettes for her just like you said you did. It was different back then. You didn't come home until the street lights came on 😊
My dad would throw the keys to his 1976 Ford..3 on the column.... to me, call the bootlegger, and tell him I was on my way,10 years old, only a girl 😂😂MISS YOU POPS ❤️ and thanks for the memories you brought up 😊
Glasgow Scotland here ...by 10 years of age (1974) i was regularly doing a 5 mile round trip to the new (and only!) Chinese takeaway in our area to get dinner. I was a 4 mile round trip to the nearest phone box to pass messages from my mum to my Gran. i was buying cigarettes for my parents. I walked on my own to a school 3 miles away. I walked to the shopping area 2 miles away every Saturday for fruit and veg. Going out to play meant a round trip of up to 16 miles
Back in the 70's it was a different time though! I was 10 in 1978. We went swimming with friends, winter we went ice skating, sprained my ankle! Played on the next street over from mine. A lot of kids on that street!! We went to the corner store down the street on my street!!
Yep yep .. was driving an old VW with no doors around the property at 10, had my license at 15 and I had to pay for half of my first car at 16 .. we lived more life before puberty than Y&Z does at 35. And if those street lights came on and you have about a 5 minute window the dad had an arse whooping waiting at 10 mins
My dad taught me to drive vehicles and farm equipment when i was 6. I was riding a horse and carrying a gun at 6 to check the fences to keep horses and cows in our fields.
Either walked or rode a bicycle to get places. Trespassed to climb tall trees. Made friends with neighbors just in case we happen to run into danger. Sodas always at home. Being 10 years old was amazing for our generation.
My childhood was lit, me and my friends would ride our bikes everywhere!!! We had dirt BMX jumps at the park down the street!!! We would play in the creek and catch crawfish!!! Shit times have changed!!!
At 8 years old I was clear across town on my bicycle working. I was picking up cans and washing cars and my mom thought I was just around the corner until she caught me on the other side of town one day. Ether way I’m still around and learned a lot from my childhood experiences about people than I ever would have just being in school!
When I was 10 years old I had to ride a Honda 50 with my little brother on back 2 miles down a steep gravel logging road to the bus stop. After school we had to ride up hill sometimes in the rain, and sometimes in the snow. Was what it was.😮
My 1st day of Kindergarden I had to walk over a mile home. Got lost & my mom had to come & find me. I was 5! I can't believe they arrested that mom. The kid walked less than a mile. I was watching a toddler & 2 babies at 9 for Godsake. People need to chill!
I walked to the grocery store with a blank check when I was 10 to get milk and bread when my Mom didn't have any cash! The grocery store owners knew all the kids and their parents. It happened all the time.
Yup! We were broke as hell, single mom with 6 kids and a dead ass dad! The owner of the corner store would put things like milk and bread on our ''Credit'' when we needed it before payday rolled around! We got to calling him by his first name ''Martin''. Easier days back then, 70s!
When I was 10 years old my Grandma sent me up to the scotchmans with a note to buy her Pall Malls. I loved my Childhood. It was shitty at times but we got to do whatever we wanted for the most part. Out in the woods with machetes clearing out chill spots. Riding bikes miles away. Life was awesome in the early 90's.
When I was 10 years old, I'd go in the store and buy a loaf of bread and pack of Vantage Lights and take it home. I bought runts with the leftover change 1985❤️
WTF ,, we walked everywhere at 10 yrs old , she by no way should have been arrested. Maybe just have child call when they reach there destination for safety due to the weirdos out there
..and I was a Lachkey kid! An F'n STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE shoestring 🍓 was all that was between me and an ASSWHOOPIN' if I didn't get my hutt to school ((alone at age 6)) Breakfast..get on the school bus...if I missed it..I better find neighbor to gum a ride or WALK and get there! Same shtick getting home. I got so bored of the Yellow school bud..I decided I was gonna ride the CITY bus instead made it stop right at school 😂 until.someone noticed. BUT!!!!!! If aaaaanybody found out I was 'an adult' @ age 6.. it was gonna be a bad day for me 😅 I guarded that key like it was the key to the Universe....Hey!!! Being raised by 'working parents' who came from next to nothing meant i was always expected to 'contribute' to the corporate climb...😅
I was 3 miles away at the Mississippi River steep double boat ramp in St Paul MN, Saturday Sunday holding boats for loading and unloading getting pop and candy bars , then getting rides in speed boats like hydrostream's Alison's , checkmate's on a 1985 blue and yellow Huffy BMX
As a child, i always walked to the store by myself. Why not? We elementary aged children had to walk to school in rain or snow, and a busy highway ran through the center of our small town!
Omg! I fucking love u! 🤣 When I was 10 years old, we rode our bikes all over town until the street lights came on! Our parents had 0 clue WTF we were doing! We turned out just fine!!
10 years old, we were taking a note to the store from parents to get cigs! Store was across a major high traffic road. We also road our bikes MILES away to get food or drinks from Seven11
I'm 66. When I was 10, it was like you said, you stayed out of doors until it was dinner time and then we all, and I do mean ALL seven kids and mom and father sat at the table and had supper. No cell phones. No television. And you finished what was on your plate. Popcorn and fudge were treats we enjoyed from time to time but we didn't have dessert after every supper either. The next day, walk to school, or Saturdays we would go down to the river and hunt snakes or tadpoles. Sometimes big ol' bullfrog! When I was even younger, we would go out at night with flashlights and shine up nightcrawlers for fishing in the st. Joseph River! Where does that deputy get off saying it's child endangerment to let your kid walk to the store? I believe she's got a pretty durn good case for false arrest! I do hope she gets them into court to explain themselves! Then I want them to sue the pants off of that agency!!! They'll never learn unless they're forced to!
Exactly . Especially summer holidays be home by supper . Then gone again til the streetlights come on. Kids are way too coddled now. I walked mega miles and rode my bike just as many.
We walked to the store which was far away because we lived in the middle of nowhere. We were all over the place and our parents had no idea where we were. My mom used to tie notes to the dog because she knew he would find us.
Back when we were young me and my brothers went out played, explored the woods and rode our bikes across town until it was time to come home , what a crock of shit we are going through these days
I was born in 1970... we walked and rode our bikes everywhere bc we lived in the country. There was a little store about 2 miles away, and as long as I was with one of my older brothers, I could go there. That was BEFORE I turned 10 yrs old. (At 10 we moved into town 😔) I'm so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's! 😅
Lets go!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🏹🎣🥳 THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT… ^ some people get it… why is the world so ignorant ? i knew i wasnt the only one 😅 for god sakes as an outdoorsman growing up and current it has saved me alot in life from alot of obstacles, difficulties , demons etc. i believe tough people arent just physically tough 🧠 😅 EPHESIANS6:11 &PHILIPPIANS4:13 🐺🙏🏻 Tough mf’ers arent just born this way they are built really strong from tough things in so called” LIFE” kinda like built “FORD TOUGH” but it’s actually f*cking TOUGH CHEVYS ARE BETTER THOUGH😊
@Longneckmexican I get it. I'm not an outdoorsman... Just an 80's baby. I too was watching my sister's and making them dinner when I was 8. I'd get my gma her smokes with nothing more than a sentence of "Millie sent me". Of course the reply was "tell your gma she needs to send a note". 😂 There should be no punishment for letting or teaching your kids independence. Especially when the the other outcome is your kid thinking they're tik tok famous and never moving out of the basement (because they think it's a right). I never understood it but I appreciate the childhood I got. ❤️
When I was 10, we rode our bikes all summer from dawn til dark, rode to the store or to tastee freeze, played baseball, basketball and Frisbee outside and didn't see our parents until dinner time. Wtf? None of our parents got arrested
Yep...we walked and rode our bikes to the store. We played in the rushing water on a low lying street after a good rain...with cars and all. We rode in the back of my daddy's GMC truck! We played hide and seek at various places on our block after dark. We stayed home from school by ourselves...no babysitters. Just be sure to lock the doors! We even drank out of the waterhose when we got thirsty and waited for the water to get cold in the Summer. We had our dogs off leash and most of them lived outside! We sat at the end of our block some nights just to hear the hippies in the park singing and playing guitar! Yeah...the good old days! This woman does deserve an award...she's just trying to raise her kid to have a little independence and a little freedom!
Fk yeah man i miss the old days.WHAT A BLAST that WAS!!!! Who remembers the old Sunday cruising? Anyone from back then does!!!🤌🏼 We did everything as a kid had wars with the neighbor kids with sticks in the woods and mini bikes, river 🏹 fishing 🎣 trapping 🪤... Man..where is Adam Sandler with that dang remote,so i can click reverse ◀️... 😂... and o yes... What Adam said MIKE...babahhhahahahah😂😂😂😂😂
At 10 years old, I was always outside. My parents didn’t really know where I was. They just know I was with my friends, had my bike and I was safe. I was riding down to the turkey hill to get candy cigarettes when I was five years old. Why are they putting this woman in her poor kid through trauma? There are some real kids caught up in some horrible crap that they need to focus on.
Was 10 in '87, this is just plain stupid.... Kids need to learn responsibilities as young as possible to survive the rest of the idiots who's parents wipe their asses until their 35
I thought you didn’t wanna be associated with Katie after she screamed false allegations now y’all friends? This dude is the biggest hypocrite on UA-cam, and didn’t you make fun of a guy that is a welder because he has a job?
I walked to the store FOR my parents - the store wasn’t that far but all the neighbors knew who I was, who my parents were, and none of the neighbors would hesitate to fuss if I’d been doing something stupid. The world is messed up these days!! May God use Trump & co to return us to common sense and concern/love for one another!! ❤
How does it feel to ruin your whole career because you wanted to stick up for someone who made false allegations? Do you regret your choices? What are you going to do now that your music career is done? I hope it was worth it
Rode my bike miles from home at 10! Growing up in the late 80’s through the 90’s was the greatest time to be alive as a kid!
Yes!!
came here to say the exact same thing, man they were great times

0:26 yoooh 😂 by 7yo I was going miles upon miles away from home. *ALONE* 😂😂😂
ADAM ❣️
You just make my day...every day
LMFAO 😂🤣😅
Are you kidding me right now!!??! Unbelievable
We walked to the store which was far away because we lived in the middle of nowhere. We were all over the place and our parents had no idea where we were. My mom used to tie notes to the dog because she knew he would find us.
On your best or worst day you never leave Mike out 👍😎👍
My parents felt it necessary to make me start growing up before 10.. man growing up in the 80s was the best.
Same here Adam a letter to the store and get groceries and bring back to my mom ❤😂
Back when we were young me and my brothers went out played, explored the woods and rode our bikes across town until it was time to come home , what a crock of shit we are going through these days
I was born in 1970... we walked and rode our bikes everywhere bc we lived in the country. There was a little store about 2 miles away, and as long as I was with one of my older brothers, I could go there. That was BEFORE I turned 10 yrs old. (At 10 we moved into town 😔) I'm so glad I grew up in the 70's and 80's! 😅
God forbid your kids are outside off the internet. Double forbid if your kid knows how to be independent.
Lets go!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🏹🎣🥳 THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT… ^ some people get it… why is the world so ignorant ? i knew i wasnt the only one 😅 for god sakes as an outdoorsman growing up and current it has saved me alot in life from alot of obstacles, difficulties , demons etc. i believe tough people arent just physically tough 🧠 😅
EPHESIANS6:11 &PHILIPPIANS4:13 🐺🙏🏻 Tough mf’ers arent just born this way they are built really strong from tough things in so called” LIFE” kinda like built “FORD TOUGH” but it’s actually f*cking TOUGH
CHEVYS ARE BETTER THOUGH😊
@Longneckmexican I get it. I'm not an outdoorsman... Just an 80's baby.
I too was watching my sister's and making them dinner when I was 8. I'd get my gma her smokes with nothing more than a sentence of "Millie sent me". Of course the reply was "tell your gma she needs to send a note". 😂
There should be no punishment for letting or teaching your kids independence. Especially when the the other outcome is your kid thinking they're tik tok famous and never moving out of the basement (because they think it's a right).
I never understood it but I appreciate the childhood I got. ❤️
They used to have a commercial, It’s 10:00pm do you know where your children are? They had to remind our parents they had kids!
Adam wanted to wish you and your wife and families and friends and fans a Happy Thanksgiving Day coming in .
Stay safe and warm everyone 🙏💖😊
I remember going into the store an getting smokes for my mom when i was real young.
Me and a buddy rode our bikes 7 miles from in town to his cousins house out in the country to ride horses lol I was about 12
I so needed this Adam, thank you Brother 👐
When i was 10 years old i had my own lawnmower and was cutting half the neighborhood lawn's, PLEASE everyone pray for this woman, ❤❤❤
Amen brother!!
Some people's wheels turn a little slow, but back the blue til it happens to you.
I'm just looking at a future very rich lady and she deserves it every penny..
When I was 10, I was riding my bike all over town. I had a shopping strip across a busy road that my best friend and I would run across all the time
When I was 10, we rode our bikes all summer from dawn til dark, rode to the store or to tastee freeze, played baseball, basketball and Frisbee outside and didn't see our parents until dinner time. Wtf? None of our parents got arrested
We had a pilot gas station 5 minutes down the road and the cashier knew every single one of us by name and they knew all of our parents 😂
When I was 10 my parents didn't know where I was until dinner
Yep...we walked and rode our bikes to the store. We played in the rushing water on a low lying street after a good rain...with cars and all. We rode in the back of my daddy's GMC truck! We played hide and seek at various places on our block after dark. We stayed home from school by ourselves...no babysitters. Just be sure to lock the doors! We even drank out of the waterhose when we got thirsty and waited for the water to get cold in the Summer. We had our dogs off leash and most of them lived outside! We sat at the end of our block some nights just to hear the hippies in the park singing and playing guitar! Yeah...the good old days! This woman does deserve an award...she's just trying to raise her kid to have a little independence and a little freedom!
Bro, this is so true!!!
Rode my bike in the sixties was a great time to be alive
Fk yeah man i miss the old days.WHAT A BLAST that WAS!!!! Who remembers the old Sunday cruising? Anyone from back then does!!!🤌🏼 We did everything as a kid had wars with the neighbor kids with sticks in the woods and mini bikes, river 🏹 fishing 🎣 trapping 🪤... Man..where is Adam Sandler with that dang remote,so i can click reverse ◀️... 😂... and o yes... What Adam said MIKE...babahhhahahahah😂😂😂😂😂
I was gone from day light to dark all summer long!
Thats messed up. I was outside all day till the street lights came on
When I was kid, walked to store all the time.
YOUR MY BOY BLUUEEE!
At 10 years old, I was always outside. My parents didn’t really know where I was. They just know I was with my friends, had my bike and I was safe. I was riding down to the turkey hill to get candy cigarettes when I was five years old. Why are they putting this woman in her poor kid through trauma? There are some real kids caught up in some horrible crap that they need to focus on.
I was 10 in 83 we would ride our bikes 15 20 miles from home and not comeback till dark 2:33
Was 10 in '87, this is just plain stupid.... Kids need to learn responsibilities as young as possible to survive the rest of the idiots who's parents wipe their asses until their 35
Right there with you Brother.
@@sethparsons7523AMEN SETH, AMEN!!
When I was 10, my dad would make me go to the store with a note to buy cigarettes and he would get pissed the times they wouldn't sell them to me. 😂
YOU DEAL WITH STUFF WITH VIOLENCE... I DEAL WITH VIOLENCE.... WHAT IT DO????
We live in dangerous time now.....
U are not going to address the Ryan situation
Bro... Grew up in the 80s'...
A prefect video...😎🤘
I used to buy Mom smokes at 10 years old
When I was ten I also was riding my bike across town as well and wasn’t aloud inside till it was dark. Best times of my life…
You’ll do anything for a dollar won’t you Madam Calhoun
Adam,, you are definitely my brother from another mother!!
Size twelv shew
I was delivering newspapers when I was 10....BY MYSELF!
I thought you didn’t wanna be associated with Katie after she screamed false allegations now y’all friends? This dude is the biggest hypocrite on UA-cam, and didn’t you make fun of a guy that is a welder because he has a job?
Went to the beach on a bus on summer break every day, and my mom never knew it.😅
You messed up fuggin
I walked to the store FOR my parents - the store wasn’t that far but all the neighbors knew who I was, who my parents were, and none of the neighbors would hesitate to fuss if I’d been doing something stupid. The world is messed up these days!! May God use Trump & co to return us to common sense and concern/love for one another!! ❤
How does it feel to ruin your whole career because you wanted to stick up for someone who made false allegations? Do you regret your choices? What are you going to do now that your music career is done? I hope it was worth it
