Was just giving additional thought to this topic... and how young I was when I started doing so many of these things.
Have you ever hung laundry on an old-fashioned outdoor clothesline? I remember hanging certain things for my mom when I was really young. Maybe age 6. Not entire laundry loads, just something like a damp tea-towel when my mom was doing dishes, or maybe a pair of rubber pants that had just been changed on one of my siblings, etc.
Have you ever washed laundry in an old-fashioned wringer washing machine? Many, many times, and by age 7-8, I was helping my mom with laundry, using her old-fashioned wringer washing machine (which she loved and swore by)!
Have you ever changed an old-fashioned cloth diaper with safety pins and rubber pants? By age 8, I was changing the diapers of baby siblings - and regularly may I add. Changing and folding. My mom taught me to use two diapers at a time when diapering (for added absorbency), and to always keep a couple of fingers between the baby and the diaper when pinning. Also used to babysit two cousins when I was around age 10-11, and my aunt used cloth diapers and rubber pants, too. I still tease both cousins to this day about changing their diapers!
Have you ever given a spanking? Many. If my memory serves me correctly, I would have been around age 16 the first time I handed-down a real spanking. I was babysitting.
Have you ever washed floors on your hands-and-knees using a bucket and cloth? While my mom never had me wash floors by-hand, I do remember using moms mop at a young age. It was one of those soak in the bucket, then press the handle to squeeze-out the cleaning water from the sponge head.
Have you ever canned fruit and vegetables? I was barely the height of the kitchen counters when I started helping my mom with canning.
Have you ever starched and ironed a shirt? Only thing I didn't do at an early age, but I remember watching my mom do it.
Have you ever started a fire using two sticks? Yuppers, and gave myself such nasty and painful blisters, I never tried again. I would have been no more than age 8-9.
