High school kids had gun racks in their trucks with loaded guns on them. If you missed school the first day of deer season, the teachers excused you. We had smoking sections at school. Every kid from elementary school up had a pocket knife

People who grew up with 80s music know the difference.😊

Waterbeds are like sleeping on a cold or warm cloud depending on your temperature you dial in. My grandfather that’s 101 still has one.

Born in 60. Yes to waterbeds. They rocked. Yes to running wild in the streets, corn fields, creeks and anywhere we wanted with our friends. Many neighbors had different sounding bells that they would ring at dinner time and we knew our own bells. Yes to dangerous playgrounds, climbing high as we wanted in trees all unattended by adults! Hockey on Frozen ponds, football, basketball, swimming pools, trampolines and we moved from house to house to accommodate the activity. Phone cords that would stretch through the whole house! They were innocent times. And no one walked us around on Halloween either, nor was it from 5-7 pm. It started at 5:00 and ended whenever we came home. Those were the days my friend. Those were the days.

The 80's was the Greatest Decade ever. I wish I could go back 😊❤❤❤👍

My parents had a water bed that they hated because the whole mattress moves if either person shifted. After a few years, they gave it to me. I loved it because I'm a hot sleeper and the water bed kept you cooler. They're hard to get out of and you have to be careful because of the potential for a leak, but I wish I had one again as I type this. We used to bike and run around in the neighborhood for hours every day before video games got really popular in the mid 90's. Really was fun. I feel bad for kids nowadays.

I was a 70s kid and an 80s teen.
The 70s and 80s were the best decades for me.
We had the best music, the best TV shows, and the best movies.

I was a kid in the 80s, and that is absolutely true. We just went out on our own and played around the neighborhood. My mom had a dinner bell that she had near the back door and rang it when dinner was ready so all the kids knew to come back home. We had no supervision at all back then, just be home by dark!

Born in 1980 and loved every moment of my childhood!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ My aunt had a waterbed and it was so much fun rolling around on it!

[hippielady]

I was born in 1960, as kids we were told to go outside and play, and yes be home before the street lights came on! Also when in the he home you had to play in your room, not all over the house. You didnt dare interrupt adults wthout a good reason. Everyone ate at the table together and you had to eat what mom cooked or go hungry, non of this everyone gets to eat whst they want, but meals were cooked properly, served hot and had about 4 to 5 items. Manners were a big thing, no talking back to any adult. I rode in the bed of my dads Ford truck, or stuffed into a station wagon on the way to church with friends and no seat belts. Playgrounds were so fun and a lot of broken bones, i was lucky i was a great climber, so no broken bones. Kids back then were strong and agile. You were allowed to wander the neighborhood but knew of you did anything wrong any adult could scold you and call your parents. Yes i wrapped my body in long phone cords but not my face lol. There were school dances in 6th grade, parents dropped you off and picked you back up. Back in my day there was only the clock on the wall. If you had a report to do, you had to go to a library. Yes waterbeds were comphy. There were no peanut allergies back then. Pay phone were a dime in my time.

I was born in the late 70’s, raised in the 80’s, hazed in the 90’s and dazed in the 00’s. That’s why I’m unfazed in the 20’s. When I was young we would tell our parents where we were going but that was just the initial place. We literally would ride our bikes out the main road for miles. There weren’t any street lights where I grew up, but if you weren’t home within 30-40 mins after dark… the door was locked. Not gonna lie, I’ve spent many a summer night out on the back porch in a chair. Playing in the creek and catching crayfish (known as crawdads around here) Drinking from the water hose. BB gun battles with older brothers and fireworks shot without a bit of supervision. Saying Sir or Ma’am to all adults. An actual conversation around the dinner table. And I would not go back and change a single thing. Rub some dirt on it and walk it off type upbringing at its finest.

A waterbed was the 1st thing we bought after getting married! We loved it! It wasn't a free floating one like in the picture, it had some baffles (chambers or layers that control the flow and motion of the water) that kept it more steady. Our house was old and had high ceilings & lousy heating so it was the best thing in the winter. Turn it up high, put on your flannel pj's, hop into a warm, cozy bed--heavenly! It was also good in the summer, you could turn it down and have a cool bed. We actually still have a water bed. It's mostly baffles and foam, and it's like sleeping on a cloud.
An uncle had one of those free form ones and in my teens Mom & I did some housesitting for him--it was the only bed and we shared it. Every time one of us moved the other one would get lifted by a wave! Needless to say, we did not sleep well!

[cojones]

5:19 THE WHEEL OF PAIN! We use to load up that thing with as many kids that could fit and spin it as fast as it would go. Kids flying everywhere.

Born in 67, lived through the 70s and 80s childhood, and still alive to talk about it.

[EricaGamet]

This is my childhood and early teens right here! We rode in the back of our old station wagon from New Hampshire to Disney in Florida (about 1400 miles!)... just pressed up against the back window... making signs that said, "Help! These aren't our parents!!" Haha! Also, when calling collect and you had to give your name (so the auto-operator would say, "A collect call from do you accept the charges?")... we'd say "I'm done at the mall" so we didn't have to pay.

[ManuelRodriguez-xvgy]

I was a 70's kid growing up and remember Post Cereal had 45 record cut out that really played

[sunsfever]

Riding in the back of pickups, waterbeds, staying out all day, peanut butter in schools, remembering phone numbers, yeah it all brings back a lot of memories. I remember my first computer, the Commodore 64. Learned how to type on it. But that was more for the rainy days. Definitely a different time.

[bigshagg]

It's like watching a video clip of my childhood! My waterbed was great, but don't let the heater go out because it gets really cold real fast! 😄

[jswhosoever]

I was born in 1974 so I turned 6 in 1980. I was probably outside every single day of the entire decade, covered in dirt, sweat, bumps, bruises and scrapes. Yes, we made ashtrays😂 and we bought the cigarettes at the corner store for our parents.
Friday nights were awesome because we stayed up all night and slept after the Saturday morning cartoons.
We didn't eat sugar cereal...we were poor so we had oatmeal and corn flakes.
We rode bikes, played kick ball, climbed trees, make ramps for jumping, roller skating on a freshly paved side street, played tennis in the parking lot across the street, football in the empty lot on the backside of the block, . I didn't have any playgrounds in my neighborhood...we actually climbed on rooftops in Old Town Saginaw Michigan....there was a huge cathedral on Jefferson street with low eves so it was like a giant jungle gym. When I was 8, I rode in the spare tire in the back of the truck with my oldest brothers and cousins all the way to Georgia to see my oldest brother graduate from jump school...Army😊 the younger siblings were in the front with Mom (there were 10 of us kids that were alive at that time) plus we took 5 cousins too.

I have a payphone in our game room that I have wired to our house VOIP line. You can dial out without having to put money in, but if you do put in dimes, nickels or quarters, it will keep them in the vault. Pennies get rejected to the coin return. A friend of mine brought his son over one day and he asked him if he knew what was hanging on the wall. His son replied that he had no idea what it was. When we told him that it was a phone, he asked, "how do you take pictures with it?" Too funny. We told him that it was only for making calls. He had never heard a dial tone, so we told him to pick it up and call his dad. He then asked, "Where is the address book?" We told him that if you didn't know the number that you'd have to look through the large phone book that would hang beneath the phone. Back in the 80's and into the 90's, we would do what people call phreaking and would make free phone calls and other stuff, like making the phone ring back to itself. Fun times.
