[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734428, member: 21572"] A proper hiding was abuse back in the day, too, SOT, but because it was (for the most part) a standardized method of discipline, it was accepted. Makes me cringe just thinking about it now. Shameful. Every single household I babysat at, I always brought my cigarettes. All the moms smoked. My parents, my friends parents, aunts & uncles, family (both immediate & extended)... they all smoked. One thing I remember about cloth diapers (later part of the 80's), a lot of mothers moved away from clothesline drying, so the sight of diapers hanging on clotheslines wasn't as common as it was just a handful of years earlier, but that doesn't go to say that the same non-clothesline drying moms had moved away from using cloth diapers. Many simply dried their children's diapers in electric tumble dryers, which may have helped feed the perception that everyone had switched over to using disposable diapers. Just saying. :) [/QUOTE]
