I had a very typical 60's upbringing. In the summer it was out the door after breakfast and playing outside. When I was 8 they brought a summer cabin so mum and I went to the cabin all summer and various cousin would come stay with us for a couple weeks. The only thing I wish is that they cared. More about home work. I was often on the honor roll but they took no interest in school. As long as we stayed out of trouble it was hands off. I was the youngest by far and didn't have a lot of chores. I left when I was 18 to go to the university.
