I see a lot of "I survived..." memes from Boomers and Gen-Xers. Spankings, playgrounds, drinking from the hose, you name it. Yeah, you survived. But 1) There are those who didn't. And 2) One would think you'd do more than survive your childhood. God forbid you actually THRIVED. Can you thrive under those conditions you brag about when combined with all the other conditions of those eras? I don't know.

Well, if you wanted kids to thrive, you would need to get rid of 9 years of state mandated prison sentence.
But sure... Let's pretend, that drinking water from a hose is an issue that traumatised you.
