As a Gen X-er, this is accurate. There were also dangerous edibles disguised as candy being sold in playgrounds by random strangers that happened to be there, backpacks that carried the equivalent of 3 sacks of uncooked rice, and clothes without proper insulation that forced us to walk faster uphill to ensure heat generation.

My dad's walk to highschool was actually uphill both ways because he lived on a hill and the hs was on the other side of the hill with a giant forest between them.

my husband tried giving our kids the whole ‘i worked hard and was grateful for it’ speech only to be busted out by his mom. 😂😂😂😂😂 ‘you were ten times as entitled and bratty as my sweet grand babies are ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤’
Yeah these wuss kids don’t know what it’s like to have to hunt wild cats just to put a tunic on your back and a satchel on your waist, I had to carve all of my homework into the side of a mountain using only a chisel and my fists.
I remember sleeping in a paper bag in the middle of the road. School? Luxury! I worked 48 hours a day in the mines. At 3am my dad would come home to beat me to sleep with a broken bottle. We had to jump out of the paper bag to catch roadkill to eat all while trying to avoid being hit by cars. Run uphil? Luxury! Both my legs were bent by polio and still I had to crawl twenty miles over broken glass. The youth of today...
He was a bit dishonest in his story. It was really uphill both ways, and it was snowing year round, and the snow was waist high. Perhaps he was trying to be humble by leaving out the entirety.
As a father i can confirm. I had to arm wrestle a silverback, that my father stole from a zoo on a drunken binge, daily in order to gain his approval to work a second job to afford my toothpaste.
We walked a mile to school, only snakes and spiders and yowies (Bigfoot type creature) very big hill on the way home and no toothpaste - we had to use salt or laundry soap. Ahh life in NSW Australia, the good old days.
My father grew up a spoiled entitled brat who was rude and disrespectful. He cheated and lied his way through his youth. I know all this because he told me, and my grandfather (who was a successful attorney in the 50s 60s and 70s) confirmed it (i believe his exact words too his 12 year old grandson was kid dont be like your father at your age, he was a huge jacksass). He didnt want me to be like him. It worked. Sometimes the truth works better.
Once I hurt my arm practicing sports, my mum then told me "you choose this so I don't wanna hear weeping about it", dude, I was a month without being able to lift my arm.
My grandma after taking care of horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, went to forest to chomp trees. Walking barefeet even in the snow. Not to mention all the other chores. Everything as a kid. And not forget the beating from mother because she was sharp toungued. Also wasnt allowed to atend school even though she wanted. In my eyes she is better than Hulk. And Im grateful for my easy life.
Some people think this isn’t how we had to live. They think it’s a brag. I’m glad it’s history. Whenmy kid complains I tell them this to remind them that they have it easier than we did, which means they should be able to handle what they’re being given I could let it be as hard as it was, but I’ve made it easier on purpose because you shouldn’t have to do what I had to do
Nah man before ww2 most children did not have shoes. Shoes were very expensive back then and children with still growing feet were not worth buying shoes for. Look up Poland in the 1930's.
@@gubunki Most certainly SOME of it is. Think about it, at no point can a trip to school be UPHILL, followed by a return trip home that's DOUBLE the distance, also totally uphill as well.

Apart from all jilokes, but my grandma born in 1936 in a distant village, during ww2 she have to travel several kilometers to school, at the same time almost all village starving from hunger and all men gets drafted, so only woman and old peoples are left. This is not a joke those stories are real.
Yes, but she didn't eat rusty nails and sleep in a bed of bricks. The point of these stories is that American parents ( because content machine is American ) say this shit to us because it's what there parents said to then to. It's like a joke throughout there generation.
Yeah, these guys don't just write hilarious bits. The exaggerated acting is just as good or better. Even the way the speed up the camera makes it funnier.
Van part reminds me of my father. Except it was not a van but a horse. The horse moved violently, and dislocated his shoulder. As there wasn't any doctors nearby (countryside), he just popped it back in. This is less crazy thing I've heard or seen that happened to him.
My grandmother was a member of the Silent Generation and rural Pennsylvania at the time looked like Little House on the Prairie. Depends on which generation your grandparents or parents were born.
I'm a Millennial and a similar thing happened in front of me to another 11 year old at the local pari. Everyone thought his arm was broken and I said it was dislocated. He managed to pop it back in a bit but it still hurts so his friend walked him back to our primary school. It was school lunchtime and the oldest year was allowed to leave school at lunch.
My father lived in the mountains and grew up there he and the kids his age used to wake up at 4 am before dawn to go to school and walk for 2 hours approx one way because there was only one school for many small villages around that area and get back home pretty late and used to do there chors before getting lunch and no electricity. They didn't have many notebooks or textbooks just a wooden plank (for calligraphy ) one notebook and textbooks were shared. I'm lucky that they got out of their
Why is this so relatable 😂 my parents and others their age ALL go off like that whenever 'us kids' complain about anything at all 🙈 My grandparents funnily didn't exaggerate like this 😅 but they did actually go through things we will never understand. Like ww2 in Europe, we're from the Netherlands. My grandma used to tell stories about how it was for them back then. Before that they basically went to school until the age of 12 or so and then boys had to work at a farm or for their parents and girls were expected to help out their mothers and/or other families. They also had school 6 days per week instead of 5.
My grandma has 95 years she clears her house and cook her own meals, always smiling, she goes through problems with an easiness that makes me wonder what she has been thorough, buy never once she invalidate my suffering
As a mother of three, I totally confirm this. I was born in a remote Siberian village that was actually located on a floating island made of ice. No wonder I had to sail to school every day on a boat my parents had built for me and my seven siblings. That was 45 miles, all against the river current. And also uphill. P.S. That was a mountain river.
@@TheRealOne1010 I really have to wonder, how long have these stories been told, because everyone's father's and grandfathers seem to share this exact same story.
There's a perfect school bus right behind him. Which his parents didn't allow him to ride for school, lol. 😊 Trying to build character and grit, lol. 😂
You see, it was always snowing when we walked 60 miles up hill both ways. In the morning the wind blew the snow up one way and in the afternoon it blew it uphill the other way. - My Grandpa ❤😂
There’s a brilliant Monty Python sketch this reminds me of called ‘Four Yorkshiremen’ where the characters compare how hard their lives were and it gets more hilarious and ridiculous as they try to outdo each other. Look it up, it never fails to make me laugh.
Tbh they were truly happy, i mean, they lived the natural life, they were happy with the snall things and a certain part of them grew up as awesome adults
My dad used to get up in the morning at night at half-past-ten at night, half an hour before he went to bed, ate a lump of freezing cold poison, work 28 hours a day at the mill, and pay the mill owner to let him work there. And when he got home his dad used to murder him in cold blood, each night, and dance about on his grave, singing hallelujah. But when you tell kids about it today they don't believe you...
@Alex-123-9 Maths wasn't my best subject but even I caught that. I was like how did the walk become double going back home?? Not to mention if he was going uphill to get there, shouldn't he now be going downhill if it's the same hill?😅
As a father myself can confirm. If your life was like this its destiny. God i dont miss 40 mile uphill walks, but i appericiate the strong will it built in me.
Damn, your documentary was accurate to the letter, when I was watching the video it felt almost as if you've lived through that experience yourself. Amazing work❤.
You don't know how good you've got it! Back in my day, I came out of college smack dab into the middle of the great depression. There were men selling apples on the street corners. I had to serve in both world wars AT THE SAME TIME. They pulled me out of retirement to fight in Afghanistan! You have two cars, a home, warm food, you've done well for yourself.
that is so cap. How could you get put in to the great depression. That was in the 1930s. You have to have been born in the 1910s. Aint no way you are 100
U forgot the tiny detail of how they went through floods tsunami zombie apocalypse finding a cure to cancer and going through avengers endgame about 75 times
Yes, and they milked the cows before going to school, and their wore sardin cans as shoes... :D (Actually, my mother really HAD to milk the cows in the morning when she was 11, because her mother was often sick, maybe suffering from depression.)
My great grandpa fought in ww 2 when he was 17,lost 1 leg,and from then he would walk to work 3 km until he was 70 years old,and also survived the soviet hunger.
As a father I can confirm this. I had to work 25 hours per day and only stones to eat. And I was glad when I've got them.
As a 140 year old grandpa I can confirm that i used to work 900 hours a week and run 300 miles in 10 minutes for school

*Some* stories are real. Many parents just make themselves sound like straight up Superman out of pride or braggadocio etc
Yes, but she didn't eat rusty nails and sleep in a bed of bricks. The point of these stories is that American parents ( because content machine is American ) say this shit to us because it's what there parents said to then to. It's like a joke throughout there generation.
😭👍🏾
The acting is absolutely amazing!
Yeah, these guys don't just write hilarious bits. The exaggerated acting is just as good or better. Even the way the speed up the camera makes it funnier.
Funny and relatable
Van part reminds me of my father. Except it was not a van but a horse. The horse moved violently, and dislocated his shoulder.
As there wasn't any doctors nearby (countryside), he just popped it back in.
This is less crazy thing I've heard or seen that happened to him.
My grandmother was a member of the Silent Generation and rural Pennsylvania at the time looked like Little House on the Prairie. Depends on which generation your grandparents or parents were born.
I'm a Millennial and a similar thing happened in front of me to another 11 year old at the local pari. Everyone thought his arm was broken and I said it was dislocated. He managed to pop it back in a bit but it still hurts so his friend walked him back to our primary school. It was school lunchtime and the oldest year was allowed to leave school at lunch.
"This is something my parents would send me" ahh video 💀
You forgot climbing up hills and mountains barefoot and having only one book and having only one shirt
In the same time the schoolbags were ten times heavier than the ones the children today have to carry.
The fact that apparently it's not just brown parents, it's a universal thing is comforting somehow. 😂
As a German mom, I have to admit I kinda tell my kids similar things. Parts of it are not exaggerated though! 😂
"After school we had to help invade Poland"
Hey little lady what are we doing after school? Those Jews are not going to burn themselves you know!!!
The replies ☠️
@@captainpoppleton yeah you are going back two generations now, my grandma was 15 back then.
@@monty3335 yeah that was my grandparents' generation, I was talking strict exercise and getting only whole wheat for lunch but hey
The "back in my day" hits harder than it should now💀💀💀
Back in my day we used to drive steam cars
The way all our parents lived a life like this or similar. and gives us what they never had in their childhood. i’m truly grateful for my parents.
“I wake up excited for the opportunity to go to school”
Our parents always out there being the worst teachers pets of all time 😭
Sounds like their stories. Sooooo relatabele 💀
My father lived in the mountains and grew up there he and the kids his age used to wake up at 4 am before dawn to go to school and walk for 2 hours approx one way because there was only one school for many small villages around that area and get back home pretty late and used to do there chors before getting lunch and no electricity. They didn't have many notebooks or textbooks just a wooden plank (for calligraphy ) one notebook and textbooks were shared. I'm lucky that they got out of their
This 😂😂😂😂 The hoop n stick at the beginning too 😂😂
Why is this so relatable 😂 my parents and others their age ALL go off like that whenever 'us kids' complain about anything at all 🙈
My grandparents funnily didn't exaggerate like this 😅 but they did actually go through things we will never understand. Like ww2 in Europe, we're from the Netherlands. My grandma used to tell stories about how it was for them back then. Before that they basically went to school until the age of 12 or so and then boys had to work at a farm or for their parents and girls were expected to help out their mothers and/or other families. They also had school 6 days per week instead of 5.
My grandma has 95 years she clears her house and cook her own meals, always smiling, she goes through problems with an easiness that makes me wonder what she has been thorough, buy never once she invalidate my suffering
Your grandparents got it good. Mine were being colonized and be made to work in cotton fields for zero pay by the Dutch when they were mere children.
As a mother of three, I totally confirm this. I was born in a remote Siberian village that was actually located on a floating island made of ice. No wonder I had to sail to school every day on a boat my parents had built for me and my seven siblings. That was 45 miles, all against the river current. And also uphill.
P.S. That was a mountain river.
I'm glad some young people understand how well off you all got it now.
That’s funny my parents are like we had to walk to school back in my day 😂
20 miles to school and 40 miles back is hilarious
"And all uphill"
Don't forget "both ways" because that's hilarious and totally not beaten to death and unoriginal
"Builds character" the resounding song of my childhood and teenage years. I am 62 now and still remember how well my father sang it.😅
He's so grateful:)😊
😂👌🤣x💯 Excellent! I'm actually crying with laughter right now.
This is so true. Even in Africa, parents told me this way. And they were told they were spoiled.
So this is a universal thing? Good to know
@@TheRealOne1010 I really have to wonder, how long have these stories been told, because everyone's father's and grandfathers seem to share this exact same story.
There's a perfect school bus right behind him. Which his parents didn't allow him to ride for school, lol. 😊 Trying to build character and grit, lol. 😂
About half of this was actually an accurate description of my childhood.
The nuts and bolts?
OK boomer
@@kjay_za9101 I assume the punishements
Me too. Except I had a broken leg. Walk it off :)
@@daxtonbrownThat's so sad :( I hope it healed well throughout the years
Very good parenting ❤
That’s how these young people should be raised
"on my way to school, i met a wolf. The wolf ran away" - my grandma
You see, it was always snowing when we walked 60 miles up hill both ways. In the morning the wind blew the snow up one way and in the afternoon it blew it uphill the other way. - My Grandpa ❤😂
Those uphill snowy winter blizzard climbs were brutal .
This video is kind of inspiring ❤❤😊
"I beg my parents to let me do chores"was what my Dad always says, too accurate
That comfy bed 🤌✨
At least they had a bed!! 😂
after a year of round trips between home and school you reached the moon
"my bed made of bricks and wood" 😂🤣☠️
It's crazy how the way to school and back are both up hill
it doesnt make sense but my dad wouldnt lie to me so I accept it
The father basically changed reality
And the way back is longer.
And he did both on one leg because the other one was starting a business
There is a simple explanation: Geology was in an old mine under the school.
The house and the school was built on a mobius strip with localized gravity.
The wearing the backpack while doing chores kills me 😂
There’s a brilliant Monty Python sketch this reminds me of called ‘Four Yorkshiremen’ where the characters compare how hard their lives were and it gets more hilarious and ridiculous as they try to outdo each other. Look it up, it never fails to make me laugh.
This is basically how my friend lives.
I am from south Asia and I didn't even imagine that western parents had same experience like that of ours
Same, I'm from India and heard the same stories from my dad.
You'd be surprised how much the U.S. used to be like India today, at least in terms of social aspects.
@@-._.-What-Is-Up-._.- Yes true. Even bollywood actors back then use to be mirror images of their hollywood ones.
Don’t forget how our parents always studied and Aced their tests every time
And got all As every year in every subject! But somehow they didn't all go to Oxford/Harvard and get PhDs? 🧐🤔
The best is, the spent their entire day outside yet know every single old TV show and their character arcs 😭😭
Bro took the "when i was younger" seriously💀
This is exactly how my Romani grandma described her childhood
Tbh they were truly happy, i mean, they lived the natural life, they were happy with the snall things and a certain part of them grew up as awesome adults
My dad used to get up in the morning at night at half-past-ten at night, half an hour before he went to bed, ate a lump of freezing cold poison, work 28 hours a day at the mill, and pay the mill owner to let him work there. And when he got home his dad used to murder him in cold blood, each night, and dance about on his grave, singing hallelujah.
But when you tell kids about it today they don't believe you...
I died at "in the morning at night" 😂😂😂
You must have your own channel to compete with Dr. Shaboinky.
No more calls, we have a winner 🏆
I walk to school 20 mile and come back walk down 40 mile 😂😂
That is so funny
@Alex-123-9 Maths wasn't my best subject but even I caught that. I was like how did the walk become double going back home?? Not to mention if he was going uphill to get there, shouldn't he now be going downhill if it's the same hill?😅
The walking to school part is so accurate😭😭😭
The video is the definition of back in my day
As a father myself can confirm. If your life was like this its destiny. God i dont miss 40 mile uphill walks, but i appericiate the strong will it built in me.
Don't forget there was always a tornado, flood, fire, and blizzard (preferably at the same time)
And that they walked barefoot
Damn, your documentary was accurate to the letter, when I was watching the video it felt almost as if you've lived through that experience yourself. Amazing work❤.
And now... He is DOCTOR Shaboinky. I'll raise my kids this way. Mr. Shaboinky must be so proud.😂😂😂😂
You don't know how good you've got it! Back in my day, I came out of college smack dab into the middle of the great depression. There were men selling apples on the street corners. I had to serve in both world wars AT THE SAME TIME. They pulled me out of retirement to fight in Afghanistan! You have two cars, a home, warm food, you've done well for yourself.
that is so cap. How could you get put in to the great depression. That was in the 1930s. You have to have been born in the 1910s. Aint no way you are 100
sarcasm
@@anir138 oh my bad
It's funny when they add that the commute to and from school was "uphill both ways". 😂
My parents have ACTUALLY went through this type of stuff cuz they Hispanic 😭
U forgot the tiny detail of how they went through floods tsunami zombie apocalypse finding a cure to cancer and going through avengers endgame about 75 times
Yes, and they milked the cows before going to school, and their wore sardin cans as shoes... :D (Actually, my mother really HAD to milk the cows in the morning when she was 11, because her mother was often sick, maybe suffering from depression.)
My great grandpa fought in ww 2 when he was 17,lost 1 leg,and from then he would walk to work 3 km until he was 70 years old,and also survived the soviet hunger.
in my day i would walk 2 years to school for 25 hours a day to work of my future dept
