mothers in the fifties

Most mothers in the fifties and sixties didn't coddle their young ones like they do today. Sure bad things happen to kids - but in those carefree days - parents made sure they made plenty of babies just in case they lost a few along the way. It's good to raise children up to have nerves of steel. After all - it's a tough world out there!

The mother in this video is typical of most mothers who lived in Boomerville, USA. Not only did fathers build fallout shelters and brick barbeque pits in their backyards. They also built backdrops in which their lovely wives could show off their knife throwing prowess. My mom was tops in our neighborhood!

Haha, that's hilarious, thanks for the comic relief. I think this would be considered "child abuse" today, however - DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME!
