Kids in ancient times had a more harder life than today kids

So have you heard your kids say “I’m not allowed to stay out late”, “Why do I have to do my homework before I can watch TV” or even “My parents never let me go to parties”, “Why is it just Mom and Dad the ones who make the rules” “Life just not fair”

Well, we all have been through these stage of the life, do these complaints sound familiar? Well, if you think your life is hard, you might like to think about kids in ancient times. For some of them, life was really hard.

If you were born in ancient Greece, you weren’t even thought to be a real person until you’d been alive for five days. That’s right – for five days after you were born, your parents were allowed to get rid of you. If they decided they didn’t want you, they’d just leave you outside somewhere to die. Of course, you might get lucky to survive and someone else might pick you up. But then you’d spend the rest of your life as their slave.

However, if your parents decided that they wanted you as part of the family, then there was a special ceremony to welcome you. Only the boys were allowed to go to school. Greek girls stayed at home, where their mothers taught them skills like cooking and weaving – things that would help them find a husband.

At the age of 7, some boys were sent away to very strict military schools, where they were taught martial arts and how to become soldiers. So according to what we can see, life was pretty hard for the kids in the ancient times. For example, the kids were often hungry as their superiors wanted to develop a human instinct in them how to survive without food in the wild environment.

So I don’t know what you think, but in my opinion, I would definitely not want to be born in ancient Greece lol.
