[quote=Anonymous]Depended on your financial and living situation. If you were on a farm, there was space to roam around and be cared for by older siblings. If mom was working the farm, she would carry the little one on her back a lot. There was also a lot of sitting on the floor crying while mom and dad worked, if dad was a factory worker living in slums. And then probably around 4 years old running around the slums following your siblings and such. By young age on the farm, they would start helping out. If you were wealthy, then you would have help that would take the kid to walks until they could run around. Raising your kids, for most people back in the past meant raising your kids, as in give them some food and hope they don't end up dead. Nobody excepted that we should be entertainment, teacher, driver, cook, shopping assistant, work day and night in factory and on the farm and play the piano to the kid.[/quote]
