32 Childhood Snapshots That Will Hit 80s and 90s Kids Right in the Feels

Lately, I've been having flashbacks. Not the "remember Blockbuster?" kind (although… yes), but the kind that hits deeper. Like a weird new respect for my parents and how they raised us without Google, GPS, or group chats. I always appreciated them - well, more than most kids, at least - but now that I'm the one doing bedtime stories, fielding tantrums, and stepping on Legos, I realize just how impossible it must've been back then.

They had no apps to track our moods, no articles explaining ADHD, no camera roll full of blurry toddler pics synced to the cloud. They had film. They had vibes. And somehow they just… did it. These 32 photos are little windows into that era - our messy, analog, sun-drenched childhoods. They'll make you laugh, cringe, and maybe even call your mom just to say thanks.

Because if you grew up in the 80s or 90s, you know - we were a handful. And our parents? They were superheroes in stonewashed jeans.
