Also, this was the last generation that had to actually read books or physically do something to kill time. No cable tv, home video games were just getting started and more frustrating than anything else ….and no internet.
Depending on where you grew up you were a combination of woodsman, bicycle daredevil, BB gun crack shock pumping that Daisy 880 past 10 with reckless abandon and multi sport athlete.
This plus having to fend for ourselves most of the time bred a special kind of independence.
You just nailed it. I looked in the mirror Dawg and you were me.

I'm a Gen X kid with Boomer siblings.. My parents were part of the Silent Generation, both born in the late 30's... I wasn't a latch key kid, and my parents weren't divorced. All of my friends parents were together as well. And they didn't put the country's current debt..
My dad was a "don't depend on the government for anything" type of guy.
Your post perfectly describes my life situation while growing up.
I was fortunate to be young then and blessed with the parents that I had.

All of you bitching about millennials, boy do I have some news for you about Gen Z.
Millennials and Boomer are two sides of the same coin. Its uncanny.
Millennials hate boomers, and its almost like they're looking in a time traveling mirror.

There are conservative boomers, there are liberal boomers, there are lazy boomers, there are hardworking boomers, etc etc. Same with every single generation.
People will say “this or that generation is soft etc etc”. Look at the millennial generation. This board will swear they are the softest laziest etc etc. Yet more than any generation ever thu have the most self made millionaires and entrepreneurs than any in history
They also still have thousands upon thousands that signed up to go get killed for no reason the Middle East
