      I grew up in a poor family and from watching your shorts and the shorts from a gen X lady (I forgot her name), but I was raised to some degree similarly to a gen X. And I can relate to that style of parenting, a lot. My parents were divorced and my dad neglected my brother and I roughly 90% of the time and he'd get upset at us for only playing video games when he bought and left out his N64 for us to play. Other times he just left us with his parents or sisters to watch us while he disappeared to who knows where. And they pretty much only provided a roof and food and not much else. My brother and I's mom had to work 2 jobs cause my dad did what he could to pay as little of child support as possible. Mostly were raised by her parents whenever we visited. I still went outside to play a lot and hang out with friends and fairly often was told to get home by dark. Had 1 childhood friend that enjoyed making me scared from time to time exploring after dark, getting me in trouble for coming home late. But even with all that, I sometimes dream I could go back just because I miss hanging out with friends in person
