The US hard-separates children and adults more than other countries.

In Europe, my ex and our two teen daughters could go out in the late evening and feel comfortable socializing in places that would be unthinkable in the US.

In general, US culture seems to stratify people by ages in all sorts of ways, official and just cultural. It doesn't feel as socially healthy to me. We are all better for having a wide variety of friends and family around us.
