I hear the professional victim types are currently really into showing their ground up piss flaps on the itnternet for money.. Somehting like lonely hands? Maybe barely fans? No, the name of the website was "gee, why dont I have any fans?" Yup, that's 100% correct. Glad I could help!
As a child of the 80s I relate to this SO hard. My dad would stand on the front porch and whistle (with his mouth) and we could hear it for at least a mile 🤣🤣 Hose water, playing in drainage ditches, and reappearing as the street lights came on. Those were the days!!
Don't forget being able to leave the house in the morning and not even have to show your face until the street lights came on! I was born in 71 and I can definitely see how times have changed so much! and not for the better unfortunately!
Even early 2000s, 2007 junior high we got cell phones, just call and text, simple, didn't need anything else. Then they just had to make them internet accessible and it was downhill from there.
As someone born in 1976, I can confirm that.. In my time, children were much more active compared to most Children today. Regardless of whether they played a sport or not. Nowadays, most children are only active when they participate in sports. Or quite coincidentally when they go to school by bicycle. That is also one of the reasons why most children today have poor motor skills. Or whatever it is called when children are physically poorly balanced. In my time there were many toys for children. But most of the time, most children had to use their own imaginations. Given what I know of childish behavior today. I am even more grateful that I was born in 1976. We didn't have much, but we were at least satisfied with what we did have.
Being a kid in the 80s and 90s was way more fun and exciting then now. We could go out and play pretty much anywhere and your parents didn’t worry unless you weren’t home in time for dinner or before the street lights came on. We built things, tried things, got hurt and picked ourselves back up and tried again.
And it was the best time! Because kids were allowed to make their own experiences and deal with problems by themselves. Learningfield for important skills for lateron in life.
I use to run all over the place as a kid. Sometimes if i was lucky other kids would join me. I here kids don't even go out and play anymore. Obviously as I got older into my teens I went out less and less and started to stay in my room more. I figured it was normal for older kids to stay in more than younger kids.
@@PlagueDoctor-rv9pd yes, but neglect is something totally different because you still had your safe spot to go to. And today's concerns about safety are crazy and make children loose simple healthy common sense. And later on in life they are either overanxious about what might happen or they tend to try really dangerous things. I see that development daily at work with children. That's why I prefer the old school way.
I was born in the 70s, raised in the 80s...and raise my kids "old school". They play outside with sticks and imaginations when their toys are boring them, get straight A's (or Bs for my son), stay out of trouble, and are the most polite kids around! They aren't perfect, nobody is, but doing it "old school" isn't bad either! All the best!
We literally had kids being kidnapped all over the place and on the back of milk cartons in the 80s and 90s and you think people (who you will probably never meet) might want a different pronoun or drag shows somewhere are a bigger threat? That that's some seriously messed up world view/priorities.
Our family was at a company picnic and we literally hovered over our children the whole time. It made me think of my mom letting us leave literally whenever and coming back literally whenever and having no idea where we were unless we came and told her. So crazy to me to imagine doing that now.
If you are old like me, you remember when there were only three TV stations and cartoons we only on Saturday mornings. During the summers your mother would kick you out of the house first thing after breakfast, you came home for lunch and then back out until diner, then back outside until the street lights came on. If you told your mother you were bored and could not find anything to do, you would find yourself mowing the lawn or cleaning your room ; I was never bored. We built underground forts and treehouses. Played tackle football without protective equipment. Had BB gunfights (head shots were not allowed). Contest to see you could climb the highest in the elm trees. Went swimming at the local pool without parental supervision. We would have wheelie and ramp jumping contest on our bikes. We made our own skate boards out of 2x4's and metal skate wheels. I'am very surprised any of us survived. We were definitely abused children.
Some things were worse other things were better. Music, television, the internet and the neighborhood streets were far less dangerous and damaging 25 years ago. Now days we have better safe alternatives but only because we actually NEED them. Things are now more obviously good or evil, and we need more safe stuff just to be as safe as we used to be without the filters, cameras, kids bop, and K-love.
They were probably doing it to be silly but I do it because I like to have grilled stuffed banana as a dessert since I have celiac and can’t eat cookies pies cakes etc… You just cut a slit all the way along the top of the banana and stuff candies chocolate chips and marshmallows in then grill. It’s so yummy kinda like s’mores without the graham crackers. My favorite is resses cups, resses pieces marshmallows and crushed peanut
As a person that basically grew up in the 90s I LOVED it. I felt so free when I was able to walk down to the park on my own or go over to the gas station to get that slurpy in the summer. That whole railroad track thing made me laugh so much because a lot what we did back then would be considered dangerous and a hazard these days such as drinking from the hose or more so jumping around in the creek with no shoes on and running around like a maniac before dinner with no shoes as your mom calls you in for dinner only to sit down and watch things like the Simpsons 😂 I do miss those days.
90s times were simpler. We enjoyed. I dont remember being bored , depressed. We enjoyed summer vacations, we used to roam around all over place, played outdoor games, made friends with people. We had less options that made us value life more. Buy new clothes once or twice a year. We used to cherish those moments. Nowadays everytime go to mall we buy stuffs. Spending time with cousins, grand parents house created so many memories. , VHS , camera with roll, walkman. Those were our gadgets
2000s up til 2013 most of us still walked to/from school straight to doing dumb shit at friends houses or the skate park, railroad tracks, creek, even the sewers lmao. Now? I almost never see kids walking, riding bikes, or skating from school, was biking when school let out and it was crazy how the majority were getting picked up, parents in a line like a drive thru.
i like the non-disposable cameras of today tbh, i love that you don’t have to worry about camera running out of space or if you change the film in the sun or anything like that. but i miss the tactile aspect of old pictures and photo albums. for christmas i’m gonna get my mom a photo printer like that connects to her phone so she can print out her pictures again and fill up more photo albums bc she used to *love* doing that but it’s become a thing of the past now
I'm a child of the 60's & 70's - even more basic & simpler times. Definitely the hose water, being courteous by letting mom know where I was going & actually doing it, the metal lunch boxes & thermos, less issues & more freedom.❤❤ ❤❤❤
It's hard to quantify which decade is more dangerous or more fun. Two things are clear: 1) We tend to forget more of the bad times than the good times from our childhoods (unless acutely traumatized) and therefore glorify the past. 2) We are the survivors of those decades. Those less lucky aren't here to bear witness. As Billy Joel put it: "The good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."
Funny you just made me realise that I've parented through three decades. I have to say that the 90s were easier but not simple. Parenting today is much more hands on and dangerous. Especially with online stuff. The mind is easier to damage than the probability of being hit by a train.
I'd say kids are less likely to get hurt in the real world now, though with cameras everywhere and phones and everyone knowing everything about their kids and where they are. You can even see everything someone is doing on the internet. I guess it's a trade-off.
Yep. Everybody swears we used to be in more danger but I think that we’re in a pretty dangerous time to parent kids actually. Arguably there have always been difficulties and maybe they do just change each decade, trading problems …but I don’t think the potential dangers of being out too late in the 90s compare to the moral and mental corruption going on today in all honesty. At least for now my child is very entertained by a pile of leaves and a few rocks.
I raised my kids in the 90s. We didn't have internet until 2014. So yeah, it was awesome. Mostly because my kids actually did stuff not in the house all the time. We live in the country so that helped a lot.
90s kid here. Didn't have internet at home until 2013 (financial reasons). I'm not particularly glad for it since it did result in some unnecessary challenges (many school-related), and would say that counts as a basic utility now. No doubt that parameters set around its use are necessary though.
Wow you got internet late. Majority of the 90's we didn't have the internet. In 1998 we got the internet in my house. I remember thinking the internet was so fascinating back then.
Man, this video made me happy and depressed at the same time. I feel like the entire point was to poke fun at how overprotective parents have become in the last couple of decades. However, the capstone was a pitch for a digital leash that enables non-stop helicopter parenting. While I am all for child safety, there is a lot of value in *figuring things out for yourself*. I was born in 85' and am happy to have "survived" the 90's. Growing up in Arizona, you learned to let the hose water run out first to avoid burning your face off 😅
Hahaha! I also spent a lot of my childhood in Arizona, born in Maricopa in the early 90's, 100% agree on letting the hose run a minute first before sticking any part of you near that water. 😆
My mom is 69 and was scared of everything. She never worked and TRIED to keep me and my brother locked up in the house all the time. I can remember being 8 years old and going into the store to buy her fkn cotex and paying for our gas because she was scared to do it
@@BruceLee-xn3nnUnfortunately, every woman that I knew that behaved like that, had been abducted and SA-ed in her youth, leading to life long trauma. They don't often tell their loved ones but that behaviour is typical. I'm sorry for your mother and for you as kids, it's hard to grow up with a traumatized person.
This video gives me such mixed feelings. Sadness for the time that went by, gratefulness for what we have now and how it's somewhat more easy with this gadgets and hopefulness that some of what was will be back and we won't lose ourselves in the future. Great job, like always, from the entire family! Greetings from Austria!
My step dad did the whistling when it was time come home. We could go anywhere we wanted as long as we could hear the whistle. We would literally be Al around the culd de sac we lived on, in and out of neighbors houses that we barely knew. What a fun time!
Exactly! I was born in 1968. I would NEVER trade the freedom we had back then as kids, for the techn and surveillance these kids have today. Ferris Bueller would have NEVER had his great day off if he were going to high school now.
@@DudeDad LOL I really did. With my brother and sister in Richmond, Vermont as we walked across the street to get snacks. It's just been on my mind since that sort of thing is all over the news.
I'm loving the inbuilt subtitles- As a Deaf person this is really helpful because lipreading can be a bit hard (especially with the false 'tach!) Thank you so much for that!
Down by the railroad tracks making bike jumps 😂😂😂😂.. that sums up my whole childhood.. maybe add in floating down the canal on inner tubes😂😂. Parents couldn’t care less where I was.
We had to fill up our own water balloons when I was a kid. If we couldn't figure it out we were told we were too young for water balloons. We weren't disappointed if we only got a few. It was much easier and cheaper to entertain 90's kids. Plus if I ever told my mom I was bored she would have a chore ready for me. I was never bored enough to do chores.
Those 90's props, I love all of it!! I had so much fun pausing the video just to look at them, you got them spot on right down to the very last detail, that's impressive! My mom still has her Pyrex bowl set like that. The worst part of your week as a kid back in those days was if you didn't get to the video store early enough on Friday night to get one of the copies of the new releases and had to rent whatever was left, good times! So glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's, it was a great time to be a kid.
Yes! Every Friday night we would get together with our neighbors for movie night. We would go to Blockbuster and rent one movie for the adults and another movie for all the kids. Those are some of my favorite memories.
@@bunny_0288 Same here! There is still one Blockbuster left, it's in Bend, OR. There's a really good documentary about it, lol! I wonder if our old Blockbuster membership cards would still work?! :D
I love the new water balloon cluster things! Plus, once you’ve done the balloons, the straw things make a great sprinkler/sprayer head for the hose that the kids LOVE to chase each other with.
Even better though, they make reusable water balloons now. My neighbor gave my daughter one of her kid's and it's a game changer. All you need is a bucket to drop it in while it's open and it closes automatically and instantly full of water. There is a magnetic strip that closes the two halves of the ball. She had so much fun with it.
I grew up in the 90's and early 2000's. I remember dial up Internet and VCRs. Also Cassette Tapes from "Alphabet Pals", Gel pens, binders and heavy books for school (this helped me with exercising my arms), and playing with Barbies and Brayer model horses! Let's not forget fun computer games like "Oregon Trail" ('96 edition), "Chip's Challenge", "Incredible Machine 2", and more. Plus Nintendo 64 and the Game Cube! While we now have a greater selection of videos, delicious healthy food options (I do like this option) and devices for helping make sure kids are safe, I liked the ability to have some freedom just playing with a friend and not having to worry about Mom or Dad looking over my shoulder all the time. I liked that kids knew stuff because they had to study and look it up. Not that I don't mind being able to go online and check something out like "What food helps with...?", but that when we had to look something up and took a little more effort on it, then we retain this information better. Also we weren't so confused about what was actual fact or not. We didn't have pronouns or crazy stuff I see now. And the Best part.... Everyone made an effort to get along regardless of the pigment of your skin color. We were Americans who cared about other Americans, and Both sides were cool with it! 🤝🤝🏽🤝🏿😊❤️
Nothing beats growing up in the 90s. Near death experiences on a regular basis with your friends and zero adult supervision for most of the day really built character. Today's kids can't even be out at the park without an adult keeping eyes on them at all times.
We may not have had the easy fill water balloons in the 90s, but we did have Super Soakers that held a gallon of water and stung a bit when you got sprayed with them.
Wouldn’t surprise me if they sold all that stuff at Walmart or Target all that stuff is in right now. My daughter wants to use my wife old 5 star zipper binder for school this year lol
Parenting in the 50's & 60's was waaaay easier. For example, Dad: Does anyone know where the kids are? Mom: No but they will come home when they get hungry! Dad: OK.
Haha! That denim 90's vest!!! The clothes, the house, and the way we used to do things in the good old days of the 90's was spot on! lol I love how you captured todays M.O. as well--I don't let my kids drink tap water either. lol
the vests!! I had forgotten about them until now. I had one that had a piano key print with black and white color blocks on one side, and also a cat print one.
Having grown up in the 80's and 90's, you nailed it. It really was that awesome...😂 But actually, my kids are totally jealous of my era and wish they had grown up during that time. One son insists that it wasn't just the freedom, but he says we had the best music. He's right.
Home before the street lights came on. Bikes were everything. When parents weren’t home: Nobody in/nobody out. And NEVER call mom at work. She was a checker (The late 70’s/early 80’s).
Love this🤣. Though there ain't no way my parents were going anywhere to find me for meals. Had to always stay in range of dad's yelling radius😂. And if they had to come and find me you know that paddle was most likely making an appearance😅
As a kid in the 90s, this is accurate, lol. Though my parents were pissed if I was visiting/riding my bike on the next street over and they didn't know. If I heard the yell I was in trouble, lol. Also, the snacks from the 90s, a few of us tried some of the classics like cosmic brownies and they're just absolutely terrible now. (Kinda miss not having so many options to watch, lol. My niece and nephew have no idea what they want to watch)
Yeah, I could never get them to fill up to very big. They were almost impossible to fill with the garden hose. But no, we did not drink garden hose water. Though we didn't need reverse osmosis and filtered in every possible way water, either.
Yeah, they weren't ever made to fill up on the outdoor spigot. You were supposed to use the kitchen sink. The threading on the spigot would tear the thin balloons at least half the time. They did make the ones that came in a package with the plastic screw on piece for outside though- it fit on the spigot and the balloon fit on it. You got them at the dollar store,which was the only place we ever went. Those really helped.
@@mommy2libras that’s where we would get ours too since they were so much cheaper. I had no idea they were intended for an indoor sink, I’ll have to remember that for when I have kids. Thank you
I miss growing up in the 90s. It was such as awesome, albeit mostly unsupervised, time🤣 Our parents were always at work so myself, my sister and friends would always get into the most ridiculous and dangerous stuff. Now that I’m a parent, I think I would die if my kids even came close to doing half of the things we got away with 😩
Growing up in the early 2000s was the best of both worlds we had mp3 players, the PlayStation 2 and Xbox but we also were made to go outside and play and drink out the hose!
I must say the outfits are spot on 💯 love it, I remember all of this ❤ the good days 😂 we knew to go home when the street lights came on and you could hear my dads whistle all the way down at the store 😅 always drank from the hose too.
I miss being a kid in the 80s and 90s. I really feel like the Internet broke childhood. It really makes me dad to see kids obsessed with phones and hand held electronics. I fight to keep my son off of them so he can appreciate the world around him. 😅
Nothing says you're a 90's kid like your mother blowing second hand cigarette smoke into your face whilst telling you to come home when the street lights come on.
The 90s house is spot on. The bushes, the old yellow counter tops from the previous owners, the brown wood cabinets, just needed a snes game cartridge to be blowed on
1:22 I had one of those in 2005 it was Batman begins themed. There was one slide that I found really scary. I think it was a scarecrow part. But then those things get boring after some time.
I'm born in 87 and I feel so grateful for growing up on the 90's. I can relate so hard to dad picking us up in the car, I could literally be like 3 km from home and move wherever I wanted, and yes, I had to pass rail roads to get home..
Having a water bomb explode in your face getting overfilled at the outdoor tap was a right of passage. Also getting your clothes flooded by a pumped up super soaker.

I can't imagine parents today allowing their kids to be at a park without them, regardless of the SyncUp watch.
Yup, someone would call the cops.
Indeed
My kids grew up n the 90's and they didn't roam the neighborhood. We had John Walsh to teach us about that.
If it’s a little neighborhood playground I could see it. My lil cousins go to the playground just down the road
That's because the world is more horrible with each passing year.

None of it on camera either. We will take our secrets to our grave. Or shared at drunk reunions with old friends.
The 90s was pretty much my childhood except my dad had the gigantic VCR camcorder that he carried on his shoulder.

i like the non-disposable cameras of today tbh, i love that you don’t have to worry about camera running out of space or if you change the film in the sun or anything like that. but i miss the tactile aspect of old pictures and photo albums. for christmas i’m gonna get my mom a photo printer like that connects to her phone so she can print out her pictures again and fill up more photo albums bc she used to *love* doing that but it’s become a thing of the past now
I'm a child of the 60's & 70's - even more basic & simpler times. Definitely the hose water, being courteous by letting mom know where I was going & actually doing it, the metal lunch boxes & thermos, less issues & more freedom.❤❤ ❤❤❤
Yep metal lunch boxes
Oh yes!!@@homethatilove4595
It's hard to quantify which decade is more dangerous or more fun. Two things are clear:
1) We tend to forget more of the bad times than the good times from our childhoods (unless acutely traumatized) and therefore glorify the past.
2) We are the survivors of those decades. Those less lucky aren't here to bear witness.
As Billy Joel put it: "The good ole days weren't always good, and tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems."
You forgot being able to by firecrackers as a minor, and beer with a note from your parents.
Funny you just made me realise that I've parented through three decades. I have to say that the 90s were easier but not simple. Parenting today is much more hands on and dangerous. Especially with online stuff. The mind is easier to damage than the probability of being hit by a train.
My parents were and still are blissfully ignorant of the internet and wider world. Anything that's not on TV news or newspaper doesn't exist to them.
So true. The internet is Pandora’s box and holds more negative influence than the entirety of the real world back then
I'd say kids are less likely to get hurt in the real world now, though with cameras everywhere and phones and everyone knowing everything about their kids and where they are. You can even see everything someone is doing on the internet. I guess it's a trade-off.
Yep. Everybody swears we used to be in more danger but I think that we’re in a pretty dangerous time to parent kids actually. Arguably there have always been difficulties and maybe they do just change each decade, trading problems …but I don’t think the potential dangers of being out too late in the 90s compare to the moral and mental corruption going on today in all honesty. At least for now my child is very entertained by a pile of leaves and a few rocks.
This.
I raised my kids in the 90s. We didn't have internet until 2014. So yeah, it was awesome. Mostly because my kids actually did stuff not in the house all the time. We live in the country so that helped a lot.
90s kid here. Didn't have internet at home until 2013 (financial reasons). I'm not particularly glad for it since it did result in some unnecessary challenges (many school-related), and would say that counts as a basic utility now. No doubt that parameters set around its use are necessary though.
Wow you got internet late. Majority of the 90's we didn't have the internet. In 1998 we got the internet in my house. I remember thinking the internet was so fascinating back then.
2:03 No one gonna talk about dude grilling bananas with the peel still on?
I’ve watched this video multiple times to laugh at it and I’m just realizing this now 😂
Man, this video made me happy and depressed at the same time. I feel like the entire point was to poke fun at how overprotective parents have become in the last couple of decades. However, the capstone was a pitch for a digital leash that enables non-stop helicopter parenting.
While I am all for child safety, there is a lot of value in *figuring things out for yourself*. I was born in 85' and am happy to have "survived" the 90's. Growing up in Arizona, you learned to let the hose water run out first to avoid burning your face off 😅
Hahaha! I also spent a lot of my childhood in Arizona, born in Maricopa in the early 90's, 100% agree on letting the hose run a minute first before sticking any part of you near that water. 😆
My mom is 69 and was scared of everything. She never worked and TRIED to keep me and my brother locked up in the house all the time. I can remember being 8 years old and going into the store to buy her fkn cotex and paying for our gas because she was scared to do it
I know what you mean. Their pitch for that watch made me simultaneously laugh and also extremely angry. 😢
Sex trafficking is way too real
@@BruceLee-xn3nnUnfortunately, every woman that I knew that behaved like that, had been abducted and SA-ed in her youth, leading to life long trauma. They don't often tell their loved ones but that behaviour is typical. I'm sorry for your mother and for you as kids, it's hard to grow up with a traumatized person.
Grew up in the 80s and 90s and am raising kids now. I miss the old days, but I understand some of the changes. This was spot on.
This video gives me such mixed feelings. Sadness for the time that went by, gratefulness for what we have now and how it's somewhat more easy with this gadgets and hopefulness that some of what was will be back and we won't lose ourselves in the future.
Great job, like always, from the entire family! Greetings from Austria!
Thanks for watching from AUSTRIA! Love our intl. fans
1:00 “Nothing beats hose water!”
The wood paneling is giving me all the flashbacks...😂😂
This was hilarious yet very nostalgic. 🥰
Driving around yelling out the car window cracked me up!😂🤣
Yeah my Dad literally stepped out the door and whistled super loud. We heard that and hauled booty home...or else! Haha
@@stacystepp7914 😂
My step dad did the whistling when it was time come home. We could go anywhere we wanted as long as we could hear the whistle. We would literally be Al around the culd de sac we lived on, in and out of neighbors houses that we barely knew. What a fun time!
My mom rang a cow bell with ferocity. She wouldn't stop till we yelled back. We're coming!
@@earthlingYT 😂🤣
As an adult that grew up in the 80s the 80s & 90s were better than anything today!
Exactly! I was born in 1968. I would NEVER trade the freedom we had back then as kids, for the techn and surveillance these kids have today. Ferris Bueller would have NEVER had his great day off if he were going to high school now.
I agree. I wish I could give my kids the freedom I had growing up. But it's too dangerous today. I was born 87.
100% Agree!!
The Matrix was right, the lat 90s was the peak of human civilization.
agree!!!
I miss the 90's. Catching fireflies, walking to the park. Seeing a UFO when I was 10. Good times.
Umm… did you just try to normalize you seeing a UFO?? 😯
Finding that treasure trove of stolen Nazi paintings.
@@DudeDad LOL I really did. With my brother and sister in Richmond, Vermont as we walked across the street to get snacks. It's just been on my mind since that sort of thing is all over the news.
What did it look like?
😂
😂 The water hose and dangerous outdoor activities, no lies told!
Stop having so much fun.... as a kid from the 80's and 90's wow you guys nailed it. I laughed so hard thank you I really needed that.
The water balloon on the hose spigot (and breaking of course) unlocked a whole level of childhood for me.
I remember spigots with about 20 broken water balloon remnants built up by the end of summer.😂
I'm loving the inbuilt subtitles- As a Deaf person this is really helpful because lipreading can be a bit hard (especially with the false 'tach!) Thank you so much for that!
Heidi looks great in 90s attire, it fits her personality so well. Thank you for the great content.
Shout out to hose water and playing by railroad tracks - and various other places - till we were called home by Mom/Dad on the porch!
Down by the railroad tracks making bike jumps 😂😂😂😂.. that sums up my whole childhood.. maybe add in floating down the canal on inner tubes😂😂. Parents couldn’t care less where I was.
We had to fill up our own water balloons when I was a kid. If we couldn't figure it out we were told we were too young for water balloons. We weren't disappointed if we only got a few. It was much easier and cheaper to entertain 90's kids. Plus if I ever told my mom I was bored she would have a chore ready for me. I was never bored enough to do chores.
Those 90's props, I love all of it!! I had so much fun pausing the video just to look at them, you got them spot on right down to the very last detail, that's impressive! My mom still has her Pyrex bowl set like that.
The worst part of your week as a kid back in those days was if you didn't get to the video store early enough on Friday night to get one of the copies of the new releases and had to rent whatever was left, good times! So glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's, it was a great time to be a kid.
Yes! Every Friday night we would get together with our neighbors for movie night. We would go to Blockbuster and rent one movie for the adults and another movie for all the kids. Those are some of my favorite memories.
@@bunny_0288 Same here! There is still one Blockbuster left, it's in Bend, OR. There's a really good documentary about it, lol! I wonder if our old Blockbuster membership cards would still work?! :D
I love the new water balloon cluster things! Plus, once you’ve done the balloons, the straw things make a great sprinkler/sprayer head for the hose that the kids LOVE to chase each other with.
Even better though, they make reusable water balloons now. My neighbor gave my daughter one of her kid's and it's a game changer. All you need is a bucket to drop it in while it's open and it closes automatically and instantly full of water. There is a magnetic strip that closes the two halves of the ball. She had so much fun with it.
I grew up in the 90's and early 2000's.
I remember dial up Internet and VCRs. Also Cassette Tapes from "Alphabet Pals", Gel pens, binders and heavy books for school (this helped me with exercising my arms), and playing with Barbies and Brayer model horses!
Let's not forget fun computer games like "Oregon Trail" ('96 edition), "Chip's Challenge", "Incredible Machine 2", and more. Plus Nintendo 64 and the Game Cube!
While we now have a greater selection of videos, delicious healthy food options (I do like this option) and devices for helping make sure kids are safe, I liked the ability to have some freedom just playing with a friend and not having to worry about Mom or Dad looking over my shoulder all the time.
I liked that kids knew stuff because they had to study and look it up.
Not that I don't mind being able to go online and check something out like "What food helps with...?", but that when we had to look something up and took a little more effort on it, then we retain this information better.
Also we weren't so confused about what was actual fact or not. We didn't have pronouns or crazy stuff I see now.
And the Best part.... Everyone made an effort to get along regardless of the pigment of your skin color.
We were Americans who cared about other Americans, and Both sides were cool with it! 🤝🤝🏽🤝🏿😊❤️
We have always had pronouns.
That was hilarious and spot on. Especially the part about the water hose. I can relate to that 100%
Can 90s parents be continued characters?? The nostalgia hits hard
I love how he's grilling bananas and a whole onion 🤣
lol the closest props i could grab
@@DudeDad😂
And a lemon
Dude the late 80's and 90's were LIT, love the good 'ol days.
Nothing beats growing up in the 90s. Near death experiences on a regular basis with your friends and zero adult supervision for most of the day really built character. Today's kids can't even be out at the park without an adult keeping eyes on them at all times.
That D.A.R.E. fanny pack! And the jellies! You could actually give those to Juno to wear to school and she'd be the trendiest kid in her class.
We may not have had the easy fill water balloons in the 90s, but we did have Super Soakers that held a gallon of water and stung a bit when you got sprayed with them.
OMG!!! I remember the Super Soakers
Did you have a hard time finding all the 90s goodies?! Those sheets and the binder looked very much from my childhood haha
thirft store finds were clutch
Oh yeah!!!
Trapper keepers are apparently back. They were all over the Walmart back to school section
Good thing Igloo still makes retro versions of their coolers and water jugs. Totally rad!
Wouldn’t surprise me if they sold all that stuff at Walmart or Target all that stuff is in right now. My daughter wants to use my wife old 5 star zipper binder for school this year lol
Parenting in the 50's & 60's was waaaay easier. For example, Dad: Does anyone know where the kids are? Mom: No but they will come home when they get hungry! Dad: OK.
When 90s dad was driving through the neighborhood calling the kids, that shot has the most beautiful shared common space between two yards. So serene.
2:03 now that's grilling! 😂
griddle nanans 😋
I really like the 90s parents. I miss those days
Haha! That denim 90's vest!!! The clothes, the house, and the way we used to do things in the good old days of the 90's was spot on! lol I love how you captured todays M.O. as well--I don't let my kids drink tap water either. lol
the vests!! I had forgotten about them until now. I had one that had a piano key print with black and white color blocks on one side, and also a cat print one.
Hahah the kids are great actors too, and adorable ones at that.
I miss the 90s the most because social life was way better then.
Now,no one wants to hang out in person.
They just want to communicate over a screen.
This was amazing! The fact that you have a D.A.R.E fanny pack was pure gold! I miss hose water, so delicious!
Parents opening the door and bellowing out the names of the children really brings me back
Having grown up in the 80's and 90's, you nailed it. It really was that awesome...😂
But actually, my kids are totally jealous of my era and wish they had grown up during that time. One son insists that it wasn't just the freedom, but he says we had the best music. He's right.
We listen to 90s music on Saturdays. Usually it’s punk, alt rock, etc but I played Backstreet Boys & Spice Girls last weekend and our son loved it 😂
I don't think anyone can argue with that point about the music
It's not like the music is gone...
Though I disagree.
There's music of all time periods that is great.
@@rb98769i can, music from 1920-2017 is good
@@kamikeserpentail3778exactly, they act like the 21st Century doesn't have good music too😂
Home before the street lights came on.
Bikes were everything.
When parents weren’t home: Nobody in/nobody out.
And NEVER call mom at work. She was a checker (The late 70’s/early 80’s).
That was a nice trip down memory lane. ❤ thanks
Trying to fill up the water balloons as fast as you can was half the fun😂😂😂
While getting pelted with them from others who filled theirs already. Lol
@@Obelov Then firecrackers once the water balloons ran out
Love this🤣. Though there ain't no way my parents were going anywhere to find me for meals. Had to always stay in range of dad's yelling radius😂. And if they had to come and find me you know that paddle was most likely making an appearance😅
As a kid in the 90s, this is accurate, lol. Though my parents were pissed if I was visiting/riding my bike on the next street over and they didn't know. If I heard the yell I was in trouble, lol.
Also, the snacks from the 90s, a few of us tried some of the classics like cosmic brownies and they're just absolutely terrible now. (Kinda miss not having so many options to watch, lol. My niece and nephew have no idea what they want to watch)
That's why all these kids today are nuts. 90's was a great time.
The WATER BALOONS was SPOT ON
Impressive they were able to find a house still rocking all that 90s decor
LOVED it! I don't know why all houses have to be modern and industrial looking
That house brought me back to the 90s too!
Unfortunately it sold the next week and they're gutting it....no more wood paneling :(
Not the thin fake wood paneling! I have fond memories of that stuff slowly falling off the wall
As a child of the 80's and 90's, if I wasn't home by 6pm I didn't get dinner. 🤣
The water balloons refusing to cooperate with the spigot were spot on. I struggled so hard as a kid to fill those things up 😂
Yeah, I could never get them to fill up to very big. They were almost impossible to fill with the garden hose. But no, we did not drink garden hose water. Though we didn't need reverse osmosis and filtered in every possible way water, either.
Me too😂
Yeah, they weren't ever made to fill up on the outdoor spigot. You were supposed to use the kitchen sink. The threading on the spigot would tear the thin balloons at least half the time. They did make the ones that came in a package with the plastic screw on piece for outside though- it fit on the spigot and the balloon fit on it. You got them at the dollar store,which was the only place we ever went. Those really helped.
@@mommy2libras that’s where we would get ours too since they were so much cheaper. I had no idea they were intended for an indoor sink, I’ll have to remember that for when I have kids. Thank you
The bananas and lemon on the grill killed me lol
God, do I miss the 90's!!!! And I love how he's grilling bananas.
That enormous binder has a name. It is called a trapper keeper.😂
Yes, Trapper Keeper. I got a new one every school year.
We couldn't stop laughing how accurate this was 😂
Memory lane!
I miss growing up in the 90s. It was such as awesome, albeit mostly unsupervised, time🤣
Our parents were always at work so myself, my sister and friends would always get into the most ridiculous and dangerous stuff.
Now that I’m a parent, I think I would die if my kids even came close to doing half of the things we got away with 😩
2:58 Oh the frustration of tearing a balloon when filling/attempting to fill it 🤬🤬🤬
Growing up in the early 2000s was the best of both worlds we had mp3 players, the PlayStation 2 and Xbox but we also were made to go outside and play and drink out the hose!
Still 90's days are best 👍💯...
I must say the outfits are spot on 💯 love it, I remember all of this ❤ the good days 😂 we knew to go home when the street lights came on and you could hear my dads whistle all the way down at the store 😅 always drank from the hose too.
Heidi lookin' fine in that vest!
@@DudeDad beautiful as always 🥰
I am so glad I came of age in the 1980s/1990s (b. 1983) as I think we were the last truly independent, play outside every day all the time generation.
I miss being a kid in the 80s and 90s. I really feel like the Internet broke childhood. It really makes me dad to see kids obsessed with phones and hand held electronics. I fight to keep my son off of them so he can appreciate the world around him. 😅
That's It! I'm Ancient! Lol! 😂
The outfits, and the 90s house is just. . .. so accurate!!
I didn't realize just how much I had to thank my 90s mom for until right now...
Loved Heidi mixing that empty mixing bowl with the old tv moms manic smile lol.
Nothing says you're a 90's kid like your mother blowing second hand cigarette smoke into your face whilst telling you to come home when the street lights come on.
The 90s house is spot on. The bushes, the old yellow counter tops from the previous owners, the brown wood cabinets, just needed a snes game cartridge to be blowed on
Just proves how much better the 90s were than today! 😂
Yeah, so true 😂
that's not saying much, literally 1946-2019 is all better than today
The way we played in the 90’s we are lucky we made it out alive.
Love your guys content. I was born in the nineties but I can definitely real to some since it was also early 2000’s with some of that.
1:22 I had one of those in 2005 it was Batman begins themed. There was one slide that I found really scary. I think it was a scarecrow part. But then those things get boring after some time.
Yeah, I had a dinosaur one. I still remember.
Those vhs gave me flashback , good times.
I’m a child of the 80’s AND 90’s. I survived!! 😂
I grew up in the 2000's but my parents treated us like it was the 90's thankfully.
Oh the 90s!! Thanks for the memories!! Y’all are awesome!! 😂😂💜💜
Theres no school like old school
"Alright kids, have fun" with one lame balloon gets me rolling on the floor laughing😂
I'm born in 87 and I feel so grateful for growing up on the 90's. I can relate so hard to dad picking us up in the car, I could literally be like 3 km from home and move wherever I wanted, and yes, I had to pass rail roads to get home..
Having a water bomb explode in your face getting overfilled at the outdoor tap was a right of passage. Also getting your clothes flooded by a pumped up super soaker.
I miss the '90's soooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not gonna lie I legit had some nostalgia a couple months ago and hit that hose water…it tasted like child hood and stay outside your letting flies in
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 hilarious!!!
Stainless steel tumbler..... with lead 😂
