You see, miss @Sharona1700 , earlier today we were all treated to the flawless logic that you can basically ignore any new safety standards put in place for kids, because WE all survived our upbringings. The conclusion being, of course, that if you can survive it, it's OK to do it.
My sister was born in 1976 and I was in 1979. According to my mom, the rules about drinking went from, "A glass or TWO a day when you're pregnant is good for the mother," to, "Don't drink at all." We all should have gone out and had a couple every night when we were KU! My sister survived those rules!

Speaking of the 70s, my Mom went 44+ weeks with her pregnancy for me.
Have you seen that idiotic thing about what it was like being a baby boomer and how they all made it just fine chasing down the pesticide trucks and riding in the back of a pickup on Facebook? It's seriously so stupid. That's the problem with facebook. Anyone can make a meme stupid little list and it will get 700K likes.

If a list like this is being made in 20 years, it's going to say things like:
"I believed everything I read on facebook and I survived."
Drinking hose water
Jumping off cliffs at a reservoir
Hitchhiking to Seattle
Eating practically raw goat meat in Africa
Agreeing to go hang out in the middle of the woods with a guy I just met. At 17.
Where were my parents?!?!?!
Oh, and I'd like go add a few snippets from my baby book: Potty training - She went in the poop in the potty today, and then she ate it. Favorite foods- Bud is her favorite. She recognizes the can. All the other beers, she has to taste first. Man, my parents were awesome!
Eating dog biscuits Being sent down a hill in an umbrella stroller wearing a motorcycle helmet Living in the woods for months at a time (with no shower) Going to college as a film major Swallowing part of a GI Joe missle
