I'm the 2nd child and was pretty much free roam type. Ended up with less baggage than the 1st, but had like 10 near death experiences before 15, and my friend and I would've been smoking crack at age 12 if we could've found any.

If only there was something in-between helicopter parenting and free roam :)

Lucky. In my case the first went wrong, so I got the obsessive-control emotionally abusive don't-you-dare-breathe-wrong type... Yay PTSD and a suicide attempt at 12 years old... Yeah I'd prefer the near death experiences, but at least not wanting to die.
