1. "I sat outside bars in the car in my dads friends cars" In response to Reply # 0
I used to chill in bars all over Pittsburgh from the age of 4 to 12. My dad was a drinker but he also painted all the signs for various bars so he had credit everywhere.
my mom and dad grew weed in the back yard and dried it in the cellar.
my aunt and uncle gave us beer at 14
My fam used to throw parties like in Menace to Society.. sans the guns and gang violence of course.

my dad was infamous for taking my brother and I to bars for 5cent wing night...but kids aren't allowed in bars so he would tell the bartender I was his wife but a midget ---for some reason this worked I suspect the bartenders decided any man who was that dedicated to chicken wings deserved to stay (and he wasn't drinking)
54. "oh the tradition started with my brother " In response to Reply # 22
he wouldn't take us both
With my brother he would be dramatic whisper to the bartender as a warning "look my partnah is here with me..he's a bit small cause he's a midget but look don't stare cause it upsets him" then my brother would struggle to get up onto the bar stool
This is hilarious. My dad used to take me to the bar too. It would be during the day though. I wanna say that makes it a lil bit better but I doubt that's true lol

My mom sent me to Mississippi by car with a lady from church, who was basically a stranger to me. Her car broke down on the way, and she accepted help from a trucker.
And she used to let us sit on top off the retracted roof when she drove. So not only no seatbelts but a bunch of kids under 10 (I was probably around 5/6) riding on top of a car essentially.

63. "RE: my mama ought to be locked up somewhere" In response to Reply # 0
could stay up all night on weekends since i can remember, from 'bout 9yrs, when i started living with my mother....but before, while living with my grandparents: i was my grandmother's chaperone, especially when we went to Mid-Atlantic(for the old heads)Wrestling matches; she would be drunk as hell, but alert as a mufaca, and i be by her side to protect from anyone!lol). she would take me to the bars as well, and the liquor houses, when she could sneak away for a few hours....damn, looking back, man..i miss you grandma!
I was left home alone I was 5 the first time and too scary to get out of bed in my own house
left in cars, while she shopped don't cut up or touch nothing in the store cuz back to the car it was
was taught to clean chitterlings around age 7, and they had to be done right hell this should be illegal
also, not a parent but my 5th grade teacher pricked our fingers, with a needle (sewing) so we could look at our blood under a microscope this was in the 80's during the AIDS hayday she had us wash our hands first
77. "i remember riding the bus cross town at 9-10, being a latchkey kid in " In response to Reply # 0 Wed Apr-15-15 08:45 AM by Fishgrease
kindergarten, cooking full meals in the 3rd grade.
staying home for for 2 or so days while my mom went out of town for business when I was in the 5th/6th grade.
i remember riding in the back of pick up trucks on the highway. I even recall riding on the pulldown arm rest in the front seat of my grandmothers 1977 Ford LTD
79. "i did all of this." In response to Reply # 77 Wed Apr-15-15 09:08 AM by SoWhat
i rode the bus alone starting at age 10.
it was nothing for my grandmother to allow me and my 1st cousins (all under the age of 5) to ride in the back of her station wagon.
my great-grandfather and uncles in Alabama and Mississippi would let me and my cousins ride in the back of their pick-up trucks all the time.
my uncle who raised me would let me ride on the back of his motorcycle starting at age 5 until he sold it when i was about 7. i wore a helmet, at least.
that uncle used to get me up for school and cook breakfast - until i was in 5th grade when he 'let me' make my own breakfasts.

81. "My dad gave me a sip of beer at age 4." In response to Reply # 0
He only drinks one can of beer a year, on Super Bowl.
He had it, and the can looked fuckin cool rad and awesome...AND I had seen commercials that made beer look like it was the best tasting liquid on earth. So I kept bugging him the entire first quarter.
After a while, he said "you want a sip? Ok, here..." I sipped it, and immediately spit it out. It was disgusting!!!!
85. "my grandmom did the same w/ me. i still dont really like beer and i" In response to Reply # 81
think that first taste traumatized me or something lol. i remember my little cousin loved the taste. he'd be 4-5 years old and if you werent paying attention, he'd down half a can
86. "Them commercials had beer lookin cool as shit" In response to Reply # 81
My first taste was schlitz malt liquor. I was around the age of maybe 8 or 9. My uncle used to always come over and sit around talking with the fam on the weekend drinking.
That can, the blue bull on there. What's not cool about that? The taste! That's what wasn't cool.
He let me have a sip one day, was the most disgusting shit ever. Couldn't see why grown ups would want to drink it.
Years later, can't get enough.

I begged him to taste it
he handed me the can I took a sip...thought it was the worst shit on earth.... but he drinks it...so should I (I used to always compete with him in my mind...like I would try to eat as much as he did and stuff like that)
I guess he forgot he handed me the can cause he was watchin tv
I dip off.....crush the whole can
I remember standing in front of the tv...actin a donkey...I even licked the screen
Pops freaks out...thinks I done scrambled my brain and scarred for life...Moms is just like let him sleep it off
