FFS there's always one. 🙄 'I was put down t'coal mines when I were 3 year old, 65 hours a week int dark. Never did me any 'arm.' FFS!
My 2 DC were not allowed out of our cul de sac of 16 houses without adult supervision, til they were 9 or 10. (In the noughties...) Apart from when they were at school, which had adult supervison anyway in the form of teachers!
They went to Uni at 18, never came back, got their own home at 23-24, and are now successful, professional, career people, on £70K+ per year. Completely solvent, and independent - now in their late 20s/nearly 30. Live 18-20 miles from me and their dad. (My DH.)
To say looking after your children properly when they're little, and not allowing them to roam around like wild dogs at 5 or 6, and go to school and back on their own at that age, will result in emotionally stunted adults who can't wipe their own arse is a load of bollocks.
