Being a parent is stressful. Besides having to spend all the time teaching and raising your children to ensure they grow up to be upstanding and wholesome individuals, you also have to ensure that they survive. It seems like common sense, but there are all sorts of rules you have to follow. Infants have to sleep a very certain way, they need to get their shots in a timely order (despite what anti-vaxxers might have you believe) and you need to baby proof your entire home.
As their parent, you’re incredibly concerned with their safety and won’t let them do anything that could possibly harm them… at least, these days. It seems like back in the day, parents were way more chill about the safety of their children. They obviously still cared for them, but they seemed to be less concerned about things that could harm them. If you don’t believe us, we’ve collected lots of photo evidence to prove that previous generations parented way different than they do today.
