As a kid, my friends and I mostly had free rein. Be home by dinner time or dark were the most common rules. When school was in session, we'd have a few hours to run around the neighborhood. In the summer it wasn't uncommon to find us riding bikes to the next town miles away. Parents didn't ever know where we were going or what we were doing. As long as we were home on time there was no issue.

With all the random encounters of other kids out and about, you learned all kinds of skills. How to explain a black eye to your parents without getting anyone in trouble, how to judge a person's character, what was "cool" and what wasn't. It was different from being at school, because we were all without supervision and true colors revealed themselves. It was a learning experience everyday.

I'm guilty of being way more over-protective of my kids than my parents were with me. Looking back I think I've been conditioned by media to make my kids' lives less fulfilling. I feel shame.

You lost me at “schedule” and “play date”…

Look, we are a society that has become obsessed with safety. It’s now a cardinal sin to drive around in a vehicle without your kids belted up, or let them ride a bike without a helmet, etc. Part of this is due to the feminization of the western male. Women will always exchange freedom for security, especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of their children. Men on the other hand are less averse to risk-taking, but most of the men have been turned into faggots and women so there is no counter-balance to the woman’s desire for safety.

The other major reason - and you are correct in this one - is the conditioning by the media. The media wants us to feel insecure which exacerbates the exchanging our freedom for security.

This in part has led us to creating a generation of entitled spoiled brats who have an incredible aversion to any sort of discomfort and are woefully unprepared to face the real world. But hey the kids are “safe”.

Should you feel shame? Probably not. You’ve been conditioned and you’ve only been doing what you thought (or was told) is best for your kids. At least you recognize that much, so now do something about it. You can still keep your kids “safe” by making them wear seatbelts and helmets - some of this shit is common sense - but give them the latitude to make their own decisions and the freedom to get away from parental influence. This will help with them build the self-confidence that they will eventually need to leave the nest and step out on their own. And the bonus is that you won’t have a 35 year old man child living in your basement.

Good luck!!

Seat belts are bad.

Can your nose get bigger?x

Implying children should ride bikes without helmets.

Yes it can.

Women will always exchange freedom for security...

And the attack on women.

...especially when it comes to the safety and well-being of their children.

Which isn't' a female trait. It's an instinctual WHITE trait regardless of which sex. If this bothers you, come on, do better. You attack the family unit with every single sentence. You're a preddit commie. Likely jewish.

Men on the other hand are less averse to risk-taking...

Yes. For themselves. Not for their children. Not even remotely for their children.

but most of the men have been turned into faggots

I mean yes. Niggers, jews, muslims etc.

Are you going to be so audacious to claim that in 2022 it's just as safe to go outside and play away from known and trusting adults as it was 20, 30, 40+ years ago? You are galactically stupid.

This in part has led us to creating a generation of entitled spoiled brats who have an incredible aversion to any sort of discomfort and are woefully unprepared to face the real world. But hey the kids are “safe”.

That generation isn't children anymore. You describe millennial generation with that. I've met more, and seen news of more gen Zer who are known to the JQ and averse to niggers etc.
