And the number of people who thought a family bedtime of 2 AM was inherently abusive, because it would leave me chronically extremely sleep-deprived in order to get up for school on time the next morning. And I’m like “dude no, I just sleep until like 12 and do schoolwork in the afternoon, it’s fine”. And they’re like “school starting in afternoon?? does not compute”.
In my family when I was a kid, grocery shopping was a group effort, and we often went as late as 11 PM. I liked going grocery shopping, especially when I learned during a Girl Scout field trip to the grocery store how utterly lacking in grocery-shopping experience the other kids were and how incompetent this had left them, but dear god did we get a lot of Looks and a significant number of Questions when people saw two young children out and about that late.
