Was 1950 the best time to raise children in the US?

Yes! In the U.S. and Canada it was the last decade of innocence. The war was over and the living was free as the wind. Modernization came to both countries and there were more products to buy. The stress of war was over and families knew how important they were to each other. Families were closer than ever during these times and most families took full advantage of it by doing things together as a family. Usually the wife stayed home and looked after the children and the home (possibly elderly parents) and Sundays were a day of rest. It was time to mow the lawn (I can still smell that sweet grass as I mowed the lawn and hardly done and the robins were after the worms) to go on picnics, the beach, Sunday drives and having fun with friends. Teens didn't have a care in the world with the exception of finding out what girl or guy liked them or if they would have a date for Saturday night or the school prom or golly gee, a girl had a huge zit on her nose or chin just before she was going out on a date with the love her life (and usually that zit was the size of the end of a pencil). Taxes were lower as were housing costs so less stress on the parents. Jobs were more available. I worked during the end of the 1950s and I could work at a job 6 months to a year and if I didn't like it go out on my lunch hour and have a new job before the hour was up. Sock hops for the kids; chopped, beefed up old cars that were painted metallic colors and the guys would hang out at the drive-in restaurants and peeled rubber to get attention or drag race; many went to drive-in theaters and many snuck in hidden in the trunk of the car. If you mentioned an brand new car back then it was "not cool" or "square." Church was a big factor in families and one of my favorite artists is Norman Rockwell because he captured all decades extremely well. Children were allowed to be children and mother wasn't going around with bacterial sprays or soaps before you touched anything. Kids were allowed to get dirty from simply playing outside. Many people who grew up in the 50s remember coming home to the smell of fresh baking. Friends were really your friends and even if hanging out in gangs the pranks teenagers pulled off were very minor in comparison today. The crime rate was lower. School education was better (as far as I'm concerned) and teachers had 42 - 45 students in their class and didn't whine about it. Kids went to school to learn and were expected to get good grades. If a student was slower in one subject teachers actually stayed after school to help them and your parents help out with homework. Coke was a soft drink; "that mother" WAS your mother; grass was your lawn that you mowed on Sundays and if you ever entertained the idea of saying the "F" word or swore it was out with the old bar of soap or a good smack! Kids were taught to respect their elders and you called them Mr. or Mrs. You gave up your seat on the bus to someone older or someone pregnant. You were seen and not heard! If you were asked to do something you did it without mom explaining every detail of why you were suppose to do it. You went to Sunday School whether you liked it or not and then church and had the opportunity to decide at the age of 21 (in Canada) if you wanted to continue on with that religion. Children (teens) DID NOT live with their boyfriends! When teen girls dated the guy better come up and meet the parents and not stay outside and yell out the girl's name or honk the horn (parents back then thought this was very ill-mannered and not respectful.) The old saying our parents would tell us "you lay down with dogs you get up with fleas" which simply meant "choose your friends carefully because they are a reflection on who you are.) Our parents put the fear of God (he sees everything) into our heads regarding sex and single pregnant mothers were a much lower percentage (but some young women did get pregnant and were either wisked off to a relatives or put into a home for unwed mothers.) Children were respectful of rules in the house and knew what would happen if you broke one of those rules. Pets were able to stay inside or even sleep with the kids. Kids had chores, got a small allowance and if you didn't do the chores you didn't get "da money!" Kids mowed lawns and they shoveled snow without getting paid for it! Most parents instilled wise rules for their children, but did so with love and one knew they could always go home and find either mom or dad there to talk out any problems. Most kids although fascinated with the TV wanted to be outside with their friends and were much more energetic. Therefore the kids during this time were unaware of media coverage and could care less so there was less stress for them. In the 50s kids laughed more, had more fun and things were much less expensive. Parents didn't always have a lot of money for toys for their kids and what the kids did receive they were happy with. Kids used their imagination more to make fun then they do today. They didn't gawk at TV all day, didn't sit in front of a computer, didn't eat a lot of junk food and so they didn't have to worry about being over-weight. Teens hung around their favorite cafe and pooled their money for a coke, possibly a hamburger or chips if lucky. They fell in and out of love, but recovered quickly and didn't take life as seriously as they do today. They were taught to not blame others for their own mistakes. Movies were great! Instead of all young actors we looked up to older actors and kids in the 50s had many mentors. Today, there are few. There were musicals, classic movies, movies without all the blood and guts, murder and mayhem. Horror movies were a hit, but nothing like today's horror movies. "The Blob" was popular with the kids and had Steve McQueen in it. Then came "Rebel Without A Cause" with James Dean (my idol back then) and it was the very end of the 50s and I knew then that things were starting to change and would never be as innocent as the early to mid-50s. "Rebel Without A Cause" was refreshing to teenagers and made them realize that they could have a voice in their future. This movie showed for the first time the frustrations and pressures that the mid-50s to the late 50's put upon kids. We weren't aware of them, but now we were ... and the change came! Having grown up in the 1940's to the present time I have to say that the 1950s were the best. My 20 year old nephew told me last year he sure wished he'd been brought up in the 50s. That says a lot to me. Progress doesn't change who parents or kids are, but it's the values in life. If the parents want good values then the kids of today could have things a lot easier and I don't mean money, the latest clothes or buying a son or daughter a new car (there is nothing like working for what you want and you are more likely to be proud enough to look after it.) I mean "being there" for your kids. Although I found the 60s exciting with the hippy movement and more say in what the world was up too it had it's downside. While free-love seemed like a great thing at the time and "back to mother earth" it had it's downside. Innocence was gone.

7 unique sets of twins who defied the odds?

  1. Tamara Rabi and Adriana Scott
    • These twins were born in 1983 in Mexico and were given up for adoption. They were adopted into families who lived only 20 miles apart but didn't know of each other until age 20, when their mutual friends kept getting them confused. They were introduced and the rest is history!
  2. Oldest Mother to Give Birth to Twins
    • Omkari Panwar, aged 70, and her husband, aged 77, were desperate for a male heir, and gave up many possessions to participate in a very expensive IVF procedure. Their prayers were answered when Panwar gave birth to premature but healthy twins, a boy and girl by caesarean section.
  3. Abigail and Brittany Hensel
    • Abigail and Brittany Hensel are conjoined twins connected entirely from the neck down, meaning that they have two heads and one body. The two of them each have separate sets of organs and control their own half of the body by themselves. Basic activities require high levels of teamwork and cooperation, including things such as walking, swimming, driving, and even brushing their hair.
  4. Koen and Tuen Stuart
    • Is it possible for twins to be half brothers? Koen and Tuen Stuart are just that. After a somewhat botched IVF treatment, it was discovered that another man's sperm had been mixed in and that one of the boys had a different biological father than his twin brother. It appears that a piece of lab equipment was used twice; something the hospital called 'a deeply regrettable mistake.' The Stuarts, however, love both children and wanted to raise them together.
  5. Alicia and Jasmin Singer
    • You probably wouldn't know that Alicia and Jasmin were twins. That's because Alicia's eyes, skin, and hair are dark while Jasmin has blue eyes and light skin and hair. They were born to a mother of Jamaican-English descent. Experts claim that this is a rare case where the eggs contained genes for predominantly one skin color instead of a combination as is the case with most mixed-race babies.
  6. One School with 40 Twins
    • At one point, a secondary (middle) school in England had 20 sets of twins. TWENTY! This breaks the world record, of course. Teachers have an especially hard time telling them apart because every student wears an identical uniform.
  7. Aimee and Ashlee Nelson
    • Talk about an exciting New Year's Eve for twins Aimee and Ashlee Nelson, who gave birth to their respective sons within a two-hour span in an Akron, Ohio, hospital. Their due dates were a week apart but Aimee gave birth to her son, Donavyn, at 12:11 p.m. on New Year's Eve, and his cousin, Aiden, arrived for Ashlee at 2:03 p.m.
  8. Twin Mania!
    • Now this is crazy. Twins Diane and Darlene Nettemeier went to the annual Twin Day Festival in Twinsburg, Ohio. There, they met twins Craig and Mark Sanders. Diane and Craig started dating and Darlene and Mark started dating. They got engaged on the same day, married in a joint ceremony, and live next door to each other. Craig and Diane went on to have identical twin boys of their own! We're all twinned out!
  9. Linda and Terry Jamison
    • Psychic twins, Linda and Terry, claim to have predicted the September 11th attacks on the United States two years ahead of time. They also predicted that JFK Jr. would die in a plane crash. Their record is less than stellar, however - they thought that Pope John Paul II would die in 2004 and that Saddam Hussein would die in 2003.
  10. Amy and Katie Elliott
    • Twins Amy and Katie Elliott were born exactly 87 days apart, a record amount of time between the births of twins. Amy was born prematurely, an entire four months early, and was followed three months later by her younger sister Katie. Talk about defying the odds.
  11. Jim Lewis and Jim Spencer
    • Jim L. and Jim S. were separated at birth when they were put up for adoption and met for the first time at 39. Pretty normal story, until you find out that they were both named Jim and they both had married twice; first to women named Linda, and then to women named Betty. Both had childhood dogs named Toy. Their sons were named James Allen and James Alan, respectively. Both worked as sheriff's deputies, had the same favorite beer and cigarettes, and even drove the same car!
  12. Paula Bernstein and Elyse Schein
    • These twins were adopted at birth by separate parents, just like the Jims. They met for the first time at age 35 and realized that the both studied film in college and were writers. They also found out that they were deliberately separated for a study on nature vs nurture, though this was hidden from their adoptive parents. The researcher decided to scrap his research knowing it would be criticized, but these two are as close as can be!

What does the saying sleep like a baby?

No you could imagine every child is different in their own regards and when it came to bedtime he was on another level.

The first three months were fairly predictable. Every three hours up for feedings and changings. Around the four-month mark, it all changed.

Bedtime became dreadful. It was like he could sense it was coming and the hysterics would begin. Constant crying and screaming it was not only unbearable it was heartbreaking.

We were puzzled. We had never experienced episodes of this magnitude with our first two. When I say we tried everything we did.

Baths right before bed…….

Bottle of formula right before bed…

We even would let him “cry it out” as horrible as it sounds, it was.

After a couple of weeks of dealing with this, we had to find a solution.
