Did my dad overeact when i was a kid?

My dad when I was a kid wouldn't let me make homemade videos at night on our street because he was worried about neighbors. Our neighborhood of Stokesdale, NC, was usually quiet and everyone minded there own buissness. The street we lived on was also hardly ever used. Was he overeacting.

He's overeacting big time! 15

    I would have to know more about the situation in order to make a proper or accurate judgement. Sorry.

    Kids alone outside at night tends to be a no no in most neighborhoods.

    Also there are mosquitoes

  • Perhaps, but everything can be seen more clearly in retrospect. At the time there could have existed the possibility of danger.

    Your poll says over reacting or you don't get it. I think you are the one over reacting. Get over it and dad - besides, what do you think you were going to film?

    You were 5 years old. How could you have possibly made an accurate judgement of safety, regarding how safe your neighbors were?
