I grew up playing outside and trick or treating for Halloween. I'm not sure I would let my kid do either. I grew up in the 2000s. not long ago. maybe it's just perception but it feels way less safe

“Less safe” how? There’s the same amount of bugs, the same risk of being kidnapped, the same risk of being hit by a car. Not much has changed in 20 years

From what I heard, life / career/ raising kids was much easier back then during the 1980s and 1990s. Any dumbass can get ahead in life, buy a home, raising kids, have a stay home mom. The popularity of stay home mom ended around 2010

That’s a good question. Might depend how you define it.

Down.

Kids used to play outside every day. Now they are on screens 24/7 and on ADHD medicine... and fat.

Down. Children are far too comfortable now.

When children grow up too comfortable they become, entitled, whiny, weak and lazy.

So based on your update the quality of life for children today has gone down because of you.
