10 Ways My Kid’s Childhood Will Be Different Than Mine

If you grew up in the 90s, there’s a big chance your kids won’t get to do a whole lot of the activities that made your childhood so unique. In some instances they’ll get to do better, but other times – it’ll be just sad.

Take a trip down memory lane!

1. For starters, actually enjoying playing outside

Okay, maybe there’s still hope with Pokemon Go. Welcome back, Pikachu!

2. Buying a mankouche and bonjus for 1,000LL

There’s no fun in getting your breakfast for a whopping 10,000LL.

3. Not being able to “Google it”

Back in the days when we went out with our friends and couldn’t be able to look anything and everything up on the web…

4. Having The Backstreet Boys, Spice Girls, and N’Sync in our lives

Sorry to point that out to Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift fans!

5. Calling your friends on a landline

I had to wait until my 18th birthday to get a cellphone.

6. Or waiting for your mom to stop using the landline to connect the dial-up Internet

Yes, I realize that sounds ancient.

7. Getting your photos developed

Remember having to wait for your roll of pictures to come out, without any guarantee you didn’t forget the flash?

8. Going to the DVD store and trying to decide which movie to rent

What’s the use with Netflix now? Plus, no need to rewind the VHS tapes a hundred times until you find that one scene you’re looking for!

9. Movies like Clueless and 10 Things I hate about You

10. And FRIENDS!

Can you imagine growing up without Chandler’s sarcasm and Phoebe’s quirkiness?
