You can laugh, but in many ways it was a better time to be a child than since the sexual revolution. Most kids could count on a stay-at-home parent to be waiting for them, to try to ensure they weren't getting into trouble (getting pregnant, rolling drunks, burning down buildings, buying/selling/using drugs, etc.).
I don't recall my mom or any of my friends' moms being barefoot, and pregnancy then tended to be in the context of a family, whereas you can hardly take a bus ride nowadays without seeing a 16 year old girl with an 18 month old baby.
Come to think of it, you see a lot more barefoot females to day than you did then, too.
