SUBSCRIBE to my channel to see more braided belts and Heidi in that HOT vest! haha

As a child of the 80s I relate to this SO hard. My dad would stand on the front porch and whistle (with his mouth) and we could hear it for at least a mile 🤣🤣 Hose water, playing in drainage ditches, and reappearing as the street lights came on. Those were the days!!

I really miss the 80s and 90s now. Being kids was so much simpler without social media.

I can't imagine parents today allowing their kids to be at a park without them, regardless of the SyncUp watch.

Being a kid in the 80s and 90s was way more fun and exciting then now. We could go out and play pretty much anywhere and your parents didn’t worry unless you weren’t home in time for dinner or before the street lights came on. We built things, tried things, got hurt and picked ourselves back up and tried again.

I was born in the 70s, raised in the 80s...and raise my kids "old school". They play outside with sticks and imaginations when their toys are boring them, get straight A's (or Bs for my son), stay out of trouble, and are the most polite kids around! They aren't perfect, nobody is, but doing it "old school" isn't bad either! All the best!

Hose water was delicious. It strengthened the immune system

So much denim. Moms sideways parted hair. Kids making bike jumps. Disposable cameras. Nailed it.

As a person that basically grew up in the 90s I LOVED it. I felt so free when I was able to walk down to the park on my own or go over to the gas station to get that slurpy in the summer. That whole railroad track thing made me laugh so much because a lot what we did back then would be considered dangerous and a hazard these days such as drinking from the hose or more so jumping around in the creek with no shoes on and running around like a maniac before dinner with no shoes as your mom calls you in for dinner only to sit down and watch things like the Simpsons 😂 I do miss those days.

This video gives me such mixed feelings.

As a child who grew up in the 90s, I never realized how much danger I actually was in! This is so spot on! Brilliant!

The water balloon on the hose spigot (and breaking of course) unlocked a whole level of childhood for me.

If you are old like me, you remember when there were only three TV stations and cartoons we only on Saturday mornings. During the summers your mother would kick you out of the house first thing after breakfast, you came home for lunch and then back out until diner, then back outside until the street lights came on. If you told your mother you were bored and could not find anything to do, you would find yourself mowing the lawn or cleaning your room ; I was never bored. We built underground forts and treehouses. Played tackle football without protective equipment. Had BB gunfights (head shots were not allowed). Contest to see you could climb the highest in the elm trees. Went swimming at the local pool without parental supervision. We would have wheelie and ramp jumping contest on our bikes. We made our own skate boards out of 2x4's and metal skate wheels. I'am very surprised any of us survived. We were definitely abused children.

Funny you just made me realise that I've parented through three decades. I have to say that the 90s were easier but not simple. Parenting today is much more hands on and dangerous. Especially with online stuff. The mind is easier to damage than the probability of being hit by a train.

This is great! My favorite was the random scenes-Heidi stirring an empty bowl, Taylor grilling bananas 😂

The 90s were so crazy because you were never home and your parents never cared.

I raised my kids in the 90s. We didn't have internet until 2014. So yeah, it was awesome. Mostly because my kids actually did stuff not in the house all the time. We live in the country so that helped a lot.

Man, this video made me happy and depressed at the same time. I feel like the entire point was to poke fun at how overprotective parents have become in the last couple of decades. However, the capstone was a pitch for a digital leash that enables non-stop helicopter parenting. While I am all for child safety, there is a lot of value in *figuring things out for yourself*. I was born in 85' and am happy to have "survived" the 90's. Growing up in Arizona, you learned to let the hose water run out first to avoid burning your face off 😅

The 90s was pretty much my childhood except my dad had the gigantic VCR camcorder that he carried on his shoulder.

Heidi looks great in 90s attire, it fits her personality so well. Thank you for the great content.

The thought of my parents being all up in every second of my day would've given me the crazy anxiety kids seem to be having these days. We were told to figure things out. Today's kids rely on anyone else giving them answers. It's nuts. No wonder therapy is a thing.

I'm a child of the 60's & 70's - even more basic & simpler times. Definitely the hose water, being courteous by letting mom know where I was going & actually doing it, the metal lunch boxes & thermos, less issues & more freedom.❤❤ ❤❤❤

I miss the 90's. Catching fireflies, walking to the park. Seeing a UFO when I was 10. Good times.

90s times were simpler. We enjoyed. I dont remember being bored , depressed. We enjoyed summer vacations, we used to roam around all over place, played outdoor games, made friends with people. We had less options that made us value life more. Buy new clothes once or twice a year. We used to cherish those moments. Nowadays everytime go to mall we buy stuffs. Spending time with cousins, grand parents house created so many memories. , VHS , camera with roll, walkman. Those were our gadgets

1:00 “Nothing beats hose water!”

This was hilarious yet very nostalgic. 🥰 Driving around yelling out the car window cracked me up!😂🤣

As an adult that grew up in the 80s the 80s & 90s were better than anything today!

Parents opening the door and bellowing out the names of the children really brings me back

😂 The water hose and dangerous outdoor activities, no lies told!

I love the new water balloon cluster things! Plus, once you’ve done the balloons, the straw things make a great sprinkler/sprayer head for the hose that the kids LOVE to chase each other with.

Grew up in the 80s and 90s and am raising kids now. I miss the old days, but I understand some of the changes. This was spot on.

That was hilarious and spot on. Especially the part about the water hose. I can relate to that 100%

Shout out to hose water and playing by railroad tracks - and various other places - till we were called home by Mom/Dad on the porch!

This video gives me such mixed feelings. Sadness for the time that went by, gratefulness for what we have now and how it's somewhat more easy with this gadgets and hopefulness that some of what was will be back and we won't lose ourselves in the future. Great job, like always, from the entire family! Greetings from Austria!

Can 90s parents be continued characters?? The nostalgia hits hard

The wood paneling is giving me all the flashbacks...😂😂

Growing up in the 70’s and 80’s was still so much better. Thanks for the smile on nostalgia road today.

I love how he's grilling bananas and a whole onion 🤣

We had to fill up our own water balloons when I was a kid. If we couldn't figure it out we were told we were too young for water balloons. We weren't disappointed if we only got a few. It was much easier and cheaper to entertain 90's kids. Plus if I ever told my mom I was bored she would have a chore ready for me. I was never bored enough to do chores.

I miss being a kid in the 80s and 90s. I really feel like the Internet broke childhood. It really makes me dad to see kids obsessed with phones and hand held electronics. I fight to keep my son off of them so he can appreciate the world around him. 😅

Nothing beats growing up in the 90s. Near death experiences on a regular basis with your friends and zero adult supervision for most of the day really built character. Today's kids can't even be out at the park without an adult keeping eyes on them at all times.

Those 90's props, I love all of it!! I had so much fun pausing the video just to look at them, you got them spot on right down to the very last detail, that's impressive! My mom still has her Pyrex bowl set like that. The worst part of your week as a kid back in those days was if you didn't get to the video store early enough on Friday night to get one of the copies of the new releases and had to rent whatever was left, good times! So glad I grew up in the 80's and 90's, it was a great time to be a kid.

Having grown up in the 80's and 90's, you nailed it. It really was that awesome...😂 But actually, my kids are totally jealous of my era and wish they had grown up during that time. One son insists that it wasn't just the freedom, but he says we had the best music. He's right.

The 90s house is spot on. The bushes, the old yellow counter tops from the previous owners, the brown wood cabinets, just needed a snes game cartridge to be blowed on

The 90’s were better

I'm loving the inbuilt subtitles- As a Deaf person this is really helpful because lipreading can be a bit hard (especially with the false 'tach!) Thank you so much for that!

Haha! That denim 90's vest!!! The clothes, the house, and the way we used to do things in the good old days of the 90's was spot on! lol I love how you captured todays M.O. as well--I don't let my kids drink tap water either. lol

I miss growing up in the 90s. It was such as awesome, albeit mostly unsupervised, time🤣 Our parents were always at work so myself, my sister and friends would always get into the most ridiculous and dangerous stuff. Now that I’m a parent, I think I would die if my kids even came close to doing half of the things we got away with 😩

That was a nice trip down memory lane. ❤ thanks

That enormous binder has a name. It is called a trapper keeper.😂

That D.A.R.E. fanny pack! And the jellies! You could actually give those to Juno to wear to school and she'd be the trendiest kid in her class.

The water balloons refusing to cooperate with the spigot were spot on. I struggled so hard as a kid to fill those things up 😂

Stop having so much fun.... as a kid from the 80's and 90's wow you guys nailed it. I laughed so hard thank you I really needed that.

Love this🤣. Though there ain't no way my parents were going anywhere to find me for meals. Had to always stay in range of dad's yelling radius😂. And if they had to come and find me you know that paddle was most likely making an appearance😅

This was amazing! The fact that you have a D.A.R.E fanny pack was pure gold! I miss hose water, so delicious!

Down by the railroad tracks making bike jumps 😂😂😂😂.. that sums up my whole childhood.. maybe add in floating down the canal on inner tubes😂😂. Parents couldn’t care less where I was.

When 90s dad was driving through the neighborhood calling the kids, that shot has the most beautiful shared common space between two yards. So serene.

Trying to fill up the water balloons as fast as you can was half the fun😂😂😂

We may not have had the easy fill water balloons in the 90s, but we did have Super Soakers that held a gallon of water and stung a bit when you got sprayed with them.

Still 90's days are best 👍💯...

Did you have a hard time finding all the 90s goodies?! Those sheets and the binder looked very much from my childhood haha

As a kid in the 90s, this is accurate, lol. Though my parents were pissed if I was visiting/riding my bike on the next street over and they didn't know. If I heard the yell I was in trouble, lol. Also, the snacks from the 90s, a few of us tried some of the classics like cosmic brownies and they're just absolutely terrible now. (Kinda miss not having so many options to watch, lol. My niece and nephew have no idea what they want to watch)

I grew up in the 90's and early 2000's. I remember dial up Internet and VCRs. Also Cassette Tapes from "Alphabet Pals", Gel pens, binders and heavy books for school (this helped me with exercising my arms), and playing with Barbies and Brayer model horses! Let's not forget fun computer games like "Oregon Trail" ('96 edition), "Chip's Challenge", "Incredible Machine 2", and more. Plus Nintendo 64 and the Game Cube! While we now have a greater selection of videos, delicious healthy food options (I do like this option) and devices for helping make sure kids are safe, I liked the ability to have some freedom just playing with a friend and not having to worry about Mom or Dad looking over my shoulder all the time. I liked that kids knew stuff because they had to study and look it up. Not that I don't mind being able to go online and check something out like "What food helps with...?", but that when we had to look something up and took a little more effort on it, then we retain this information better. Also we weren't so confused about what was actual fact or not. We didn't have pronouns or crazy stuff I see now. And the Best part.... Everyone made an effort to get along regardless of the pigment of your skin color. We were Americans who cared about other Americans, and Both sides were cool with it! 🤝🤝🏽🤝🏿😊❤️

Hahah the kids are great actors too, and adorable ones at that.

Impressive they were able to find a house still rocking all that 90s decor

Dude the late 80's and 90's were LIT, love the good 'ol days.

Just proves how much better the 90s were than today! 😂

As a 40 year old, boy do I miss the 90's, especially going to Radio Shack, K B Toy Store, Blockbusters, Hastings, Toys R U S, Local Hobby Shops, playing out in the ditch, playing at the playgrounds on hot summer months, sliding down them medal slides that were hot, but we as kids didn't think anything of it, we just wanted to have fun, and playing on the merry go round, when I was a kid, I always liked to sit on the edge of the merry go round, as we went around, we used to swing so fast till we got higher and we would jump off the swings, as kids we used to catch spiders, bugs of all sorts, and frogs, we would clime trees, play Cops and Robbers, Cowboys and Indians, ride our bicycle around the block, ring our neighbors door bell and run away, play basketball, throw ball, we would play with our BB Guns, sling shots, we played marbles, pogs with the slammer, we play on the grass when the sprinklers came on, played with our toys, played Nintendo, Sega Genesis, watched cartoons in the afternoon right after school, and played outside till 6:00pm then it was time to go back inside, my friends would come over, or I would go over to my friends, sometimes we would wrestle with each other, but yep! We had VCR's, till this day, I still have all of my VHS Tapes, but no VCR 😆 so yeah! That about sums it up, I did a lot more when I was a kid, I could go on and on.

I really like the 90s parents. I miss those days

I am so glad I came of age in the 1980s/1990s (b. 1983) as I think we were the last truly independent, play outside every day all the time generation.

God, do I miss the 90's!!!! And I love how he's grilling bananas.

Life as a kid in the 70s was the best.. playing out all day, no one knowing where you had gone, home before it got to dark, so many adventures .. parents had no clue what we had been up to. Use to roam miles away

As a child of the 80's and 90's, if I wasn't home by 6pm I didn't get dinner. 🤣

I must say the outfits are spot on 💯 love it, I remember all of this ❤ the good days 😂 we knew to go home when the street lights came on and you could hear my dads whistle all the way down at the store 😅 always drank from the hose too.

😂😂 oh my childhood! I miss the 90s lol

The railroad track play was hilarious. I grew up by the tracks and would always lay pennies for the train to smush. Parents definitely drove around like that, looking for their kids at the park, basketball court, etc.

This makes me miss my childhood 😂❤❤❤❤ We were just talking about this last night. I would literally be gone all day playing and my grandparents wouldn’t even be worried if I showed up late in the day. 😂😂😂😂 what a life.

I miss the '90's soooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

😂 yup… I remember a lot of this hahaha. Especially my dad walking outside yelling for me and then whistling really loudly to call me in for dinner …good times

Home before the street lights came on. Bikes were everything. When parents weren’t home: Nobody in/nobody out. And NEVER call mom at work. She was a checker (The late 70’s/early 80’s).

2:03 now that's grilling! 😂

I’m a child of the 80’s AND 90’s. I survived!! 😂

The bananas and lemon on the grill killed me lol

When he pulled out the little disposable Kodak camera I was actually expecting him to pull out one of those giant camcorders that you had to put a VHS in to record your videos on. But all in all this was accurate 😂👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️

Great video as always Dude Dad! This is such a relatable and hilarious video! Keep up the great work- 1M subscribers soon bro 😎

Not gonna lie I legit had some nostalgia a couple months ago and hit that hose water…it tasted like child hood and stay outside your letting flies in

2:58 Oh the frustration of tearing a balloon when filling/attempting to fill it 🤬🤬🤬

The WATER BALOONS was SPOT ON

Having a water bomb explode in your face getting overfilled at the outdoor tap was a right of passage. Also getting your clothes flooded by a pumped up super soaker.

I didn't realize just how much I had to thank my 90s mom for until right now...

2:02 the bananas, lemon and onion at the grill is killing me…….. so funny

Those water balloons as a kid were our achilles heel lol 😂 Hated them so much! And as an 80s baby the 90s truly were an awesome time.

I grew up in the 2000's but my parents treated us like it was the 90's thankfully.

The outfits, and the 90s house is just. . .. so accurate!!

As a 92 baby I concur, this is accurate AF💯😂 I didn’t start MySpace until I was 12 in middle school. I cherish my childhood era before social media went big🥰

"Alright kids, have fun" with one lame balloon gets me rolling on the floor laughing😂

The way we played in the 90’s we are lucky we made it out alive.

Love your guys content. I was born in the nineties but I can definitely real to some since it was also early 2000’s with some of that.

Parents, please do not get your children smart watches! We have a major problem with over dependence on smart devices, especially with our children. If you’re concerned about your child’s safety, then he’s probably not ready to be independent and needs you or a trusted adult to mind him. In the mean time, teach your children basic navigation/geography of your neighbourhood/village, how to tell time, self defence (I highly recommend “Protecting the Gift” by Gavin de Becker), basic fire safety, and how to get help in an emergency. If you don’t trust your child to go out alone without a tracking device, than your child isn’t ready. When your child is ready, a simple phone that just calls a few numbers (a few trusted adults + 911) is all he needs. He does not need to access the internet, he does not need a phone camera, he does not need to play games. Just your basic, “Hi Mom, I’m leaving school now. I’ll see you in five minutes.”

I'm born in 87 and I feel so grateful for growing up on the 90's. I can relate so hard to dad picking us up in the car, I could literally be like 3 km from home and move wherever I wanted, and yes, I had to pass rail roads to get home..
