60 Old school parenting photos that wouldn’t fly today

You can easily say that this generation is much different from the last. There are always older people telling us that we spoil our children today and that when they were little, they would get slapped for misbehaving or made fun of for being left-handed — and they would be fine with it. That attitude doesn’t fly as much today.

There are tons of vintage photos that show how growing up used to be back in the old days. These 60 photos prove that things are much different for parents and children today!
