Reawaken Hidden Childhood Memories With These 34 Snapshots From the 1980s

As a parent today I am doing all I can to provide my kids with the most comfortable, safest and accident free childhood I can. For some reason I have decided that that is the best childhood I can give them. But when I look back at my own childhood, it was as far removed from that as possible - It wasn't safe, it wasn't comfortable and it absolutely wasn't accident-free. Yet it still was a very happy and fulfilling childhood, and I wouldn't change anything about it.

I used to get hurt A LOT; I broke one arm and one leg, I chipped my teeth, I got scratched , smashed, bashed, cut and very, very dirty every single day and I was happy! The more I got hurt, the tougher I became. So why am I protecting my kids from that same experience?! I have no Idea. Being a parent is weird.
