Not surprising, even in the 90's, many of my classmates who were like only 10 years old were bringing chewing tobacco to school, it would have shocked most people. I thought it was normal lol. Even tried it once made me sick as fuck.
But were talking about a place where you would routinely seen 10 year olds driving tractors and working on the farm. Kids were given way to much responsibility, but maybe that wasnt such a bad thing.
Its strange living in canada where its a literal crime to leave your kid at home alone when they are under 12. In ohio for example, there is no set age, just says when you feel they are responsible.
Ill never forget my dad sticking my ass behind a lawn mower when I was 8, i looked more like 12 but still. "Dad, this thing scares me, im worried im gonna cut my foot off.", "Thats why i know you will be responsible and careful while using it". Touche dad, touche.
