[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 728644, member: 21572"] I didn't realize teeter-totters have been banned from parks. Wow, just wow! What a namby-pamby society we live in, with a bunch of namby-pamby people drafting up asinine laws such as this one. No baby car seats, no umbrella strollers, and no disposable baby bottles, I remember all of those, just as I do marbles, jump-rope, and pantyhose! I was the stereotypical housewife/mother that smoked. Days were spent swinging my cigarette back and forth as I moved from room to room in the house doing things, and when I could get away with it, I'd perform chores and duties with a cigarette dangling from my mouth, chores such as hanging laundry out on the clothesline, folding laundry, even changing diapers! I know all about men not doing housework, which, if they work outside the home, and the wife/mother is at home (fulltime), they shouldn't have to, but still, little things such as changing diapers, preparing a bottle, or helping with other simple tasks, isn't difficult to do, however, men (back in the day) didn't even do that. I remember my mom and I changing the diapers of baby siblings, while dad sat at the kitchen table reading the newspaper or snoring on the couch with the television on. Dad never change a single diaper in all the time us kids were little. Don't remember other dads changing diapers either, and even in the homes I babysat at, it was the moms who dealt with the diapers. [/QUOTE]
