What Did Your Parents Let You Do That Would Be Totally Crazy Today?

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jul 25, 2014

 The chat room is open all show, add your comment and talk to fellow listeners here. Today's parents are at an age where child rearing standards (and laws relating to child safety) have changed dramatically. We ask: What did your parents do in the 1970s and before that seems crazy now? No seatbelts? Smoking in the car?  Profane movies at age six? Call in and tell us at 212-433-9692, that's 212-433-WNYC.

For today's show, we're experimenting with a live-chat instead of the traditional comments page. The chat room is open all show, add your comment and talk to fellow listeners here.
