[quote=Anonymous]I was making babies in the 90s. I have great memories of women supporting each other and “natural” living was a thing. Breast feeding was the standard (expected), natural childbirth, baby food made at home. Gentle parenting was a thing but not intentionally done. We cared a lot about our kids development and their feelings maybe to a fault. I was a SAHM and there was lots of focus on SAHM v WM. The working moms were the ones who were judged. I was a Mom a WM could call when they were stuck. Husband was loving his career choice. We were thrilled to buy our FIRST minivan. Our parents (The “greatest generation”)took little to no interest in us or our kids but we kissed their ***. I have some regrets. No family helped in any way. I’m a boomer and in retrospect we did spoil our kids a bit. We had none of the worries that young families have today. Our millennial kids have lived through 9/11 ( heard the plane hit the Pentagon), when they got their drivers license the DC sniper and running around the car when they pumped gas, the internet became a thing, a pandemic, our government normalizing hate, a masters degree was necessary to advance, etc. But there were definitely times when “everyone gets a trophy”. We did not experience keeping up with the Jones’. In spite of all of this, life was much easier. Good times (except for natural childbirth!) [/quote]
