Hehehehe
I know. I was the first kid in the family to have a car seat, my two older brothers did not. I slept in the back of the station wagon without a seat bel, the seats were folded down so we could sleep comfortably. I didn't own a bike helmet until I was 15 and a summer camp required one. It is a long list of no nos today.
The back thing we take seriously. My Dad was babysitting a neighbors child who died of SIDs with my Dad just across the hall. They were living in an apartment at the time. Dad checked on the baby every 30 minutes. The first time he was comfortable being left with an infant after that was with my son a month ago. It took 45 years and even then the cleaning folks were in the house.
My Mom took a look at the list of what I can and can't eat, medicines that were approved, and other pregnancy instructions and commented on how much things have changed. It is a very different world.
