Children Share Pictures of Their Parents at Their Age to Show How Life Has Changed

Plenty about the world has changed in the past few decades, but one of the starkest contrasts is how much later people are waiting to get married and have children of their own.

There are lots of smart people who have great theories on why that is, but I personally think that some of it is because of our parents – they were secure enough to raise us to not have to think about responsible stuff until we absolutely had to, so we kind of got a late start.

If you’re wondering what exactly I’m on about, these 10 pictures are great at illustrating the point.

10. They look like they knew how to have a good time.

And she sure does, too.

9. Handsome and happy.

Can’t imagine any complaints there.

8. I bet they’re so proud.

But not as proud as the parents of the boy in the picture on the right.

7. Bless.

Their parents look so incredibly wholesome.

6. People had kids so young.

And we can’t criticize, because here we are.

5. Her parents just didn’t have digital photos.

Our grandchildren are going to have questions.

4. That’s a big drink.

Those cute little baby cheeks, though!

3. How cute are those parents??

Also, what is going on in that second image??

2. She has her mama’s smile.

And maybe her taste for tequila, idk.

1. They look like they knew how to have fun.

I guess they passed it on.

Things aren’t better or worse, I don’t think, they’re just different!

Side-By-Side Pictures Of Parents and Their Kids That Prove Times Have Changed

Our world has changed so much in the past several decades that people who passed away in the late 1970s or early 1980s would hardly recognize it today. Technology, fashion, and other advancements have crafted a brave new world that we’ve adapted to well enough, and it can be easy to forget how things were just a generation ago.

That’s where these 12 side-by-side photos come in handy – because these are parents and their children, just one generation apart but living in completely disparate worlds.

12. To be fair, the kid looks like he’s having more fun.

Probably because his parents didn’t have too much fun.

11. This one made me snort.

They must be so proud.

10. I hope she at least invited them over.

They gave up their youth for her and everything.

9. I can see they raised you right.

I’m not sure they would agree, but…

8. Y’all look at those babies.

All three of them, honestly.

7. Everyone looks happy and healthy.

Win win win!

6. Her parents look extremely cool.

I’m sure having a kid too care of that.

5. I mean it was their birthday.

We can cut them a little slack.

4. A dog is a good first step.

You can leave it home alone, so that’s a bonus.

3. Precious.

Just making all of those sacrifices worth it.

2. The dog is stealing the show.

Also kind of her mother, because those cheekbones!

1. Whew, that wedding attire is a RELIC.

Classic photo on the right.

It really kind of awes you, right?

What’s something that was normal when your parents were growing up but definitely wouldn’t be now?
