Vintage Parenting Photos That Would Probably Get Parents in Big Trouble If They Happened Today

I have three older siblings, so by the time my parents were raising me, they were less strict with me than they had been with all of them.

That’s a win for me!

Why?

Because I was allowed to get away with much more than they did and my parents weren’t as hung up on everything like they had been previously.

Parenting changes throughout the years and what one generation did is looked down upon by the next group of folks as dangerous and reckless.

We have a feeling that these old-school parenting photos would get these moms and dads in a whole lot of trouble if they were to happen today.

Let’s take a look…

1. That looks safe.

A girl and her bear.

2. Oh, boy…

Not good at all.

Back in the day. 1950s to be exact. Checkout that car seat. from pics

3. Have some fireworks.

Oh, the kid will be fine!

4. This is amazing!

And it was the NINETIES! We’re not talking about 1975 here…

Me back in 1991 just your typical Aussie kid drinking XXXXlight beer(I wasn’t aloud heavies back then) and holding a baby crocodile! from OldSchoolCool

5. What’s that smell?

Definitely in the 1970s.

California marijuana initiative rally 1972. That’s me in the box and my parents in the picture. from OldSchoolCool

6. Kicking back with a cigar.

And looking very cool.

Me again, 1958, relaxing after my bath with Toby, I was never again this cool from OldSchoolCool

7. That looks very dangerous.

It’s a loooooong way down.

8. Just a little sip.

Of the hard stuff!

9. The Tiger King.

Your mom is right about this one.

10. Get that kid a helmet!

This won’t end well.

12. Have a drink on me, kid.

Bellied up to the bar.

13. This is great.

Safety first!

14. This is crazy!

What were they thinking?!?!

Car seat safety in 1958. Not strapped in to anything, these seats relied on the mother to put her arm out and stop the baby from falling forward. from OldSchoolCool

Okay, now we want to hear from you!

In the comments, tell us about the way you were raised.

Or tell us about how you’re raising your own kids these days.

We can’t wait to hear from you.

Thanks in advance!

The Old School Insult These 15 People Would Love to Make a Thing Again

It’s fun to sit around and talk about the things we miss from the years when we were growing up, but how often do you long to bring back the playground insults from your days at school? These 15 people have thought about it, and after you read through their suggestions, I guarantee you will be, too.

#15. Very descriptive.

“You look like 10 pounds of sh*t in a five pound sack.”

#14. More proper.

“I wish people still said “You forget yourself” as a response to a comment someone made. It’s like a more proper “How dare you” with the implication that you are beneath them and should remember your place”

#13. Strangely endearing.

“A roommate once referred to an idiotic person she knew as “a muppet.” It was strangely endearing and oh-so-slightly savage that I’ve used it since but would love to live in a world where we could freely call each other muppets.”

#12. I fell in love with my fella the first time we used this word spontaneously.

“nincompoop”

#11. We all miss that

“Calling someone a Spaz. I miss that.”

#10. Okay, that’s going wayyyyy back.

“I bite my thumb.”

#9. Oooohhhh dang.

“You six piece chicken mcnobody.”

#8. YAS.

“Doofus.”

#7. Your face!

“Your face”

Eg “that shirt looks mental” “your face looks mental” “dude that doesn’t make any sense” “your face doesn’t make any sense”

#6. See also: go piss up a rope.

“Go take a long walk off a short peir.”

#5. So, there.

“You’re not invited to my birthday party”

#4. Rufio FTW.

“You lewd, crude, rude, bag of pre-chewed food dude.”

#3. Basically.

“Up your nose with a rubber hose. Basically any insult from Welcome Back, Kotter.”

#2. Mom?

“Ragamuffin.”

#1. Classic.

“Eat sh*t and die.”
