'be home for supper' and/or 'call if you're gonna be late'.

those were mom's rules back then. she only got worried and upset if i was late and did not call.

    Locking the door and forcing a kid to ring the doorbell and beg to be let in after dark was just a thing back then. I hope the lack of any consequences and independence doesn't hurt American kids' development when, say, Romanian kids are still afforded freedom.
