    Ooooh ok. That would also explain that.

    I … had a neighbor family that was like that, while growing up… figured that was pretty weird and uncommon though.

    … It would give you a very interesting perspective on 90s era TV shows though, having not had the same baseline as most others.

      Hippy parents, it was a good time but we never really lived anywhere that could get cable or reliable public television, so if they didn’t have it on tape at the library I never saw it. Always had great computer equipment, though!

        Thats funny.

        My neighbor family was near the exact opposite:

        Extremely hardcore fundamentalist Christians.

        Tried to homeschool all their kids, problem was, they kept popping out too many of em, Mom couldn’t handle it, so they ended up getting basically K-5 homeschooled and then middle school and up, into public school system, with negative social skills.

        Like, my fundie family thought they were nuts.
