Things were definitely less cushy when I was younger. We were expected to do more. I think about some of the responsibilities I had as a kid (only boy to boot) I can't imagine my 3 yr old at 9 doing some of what I did. I was fortunate my father taught me how to use the snow blower at 9 or 10 so I had free reign on snow days. I also had the wood stove to tend and all the wood to deal with, we generally did 5 cords a season.
My father had it tougher than me for sure. He was wiring houses with his father at 9 or ten. Lead solder explains a lot lol
