She was gifted so many wonderful things and all the older women were astonished at some of what we find commonplace for babies now - like the video monitor! People went crazy over it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-they-had-that#post-671269 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:15:46 +0000 swurlygurl 671269@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get that about our video monitor.

About our ergos, bouncers, double strollers, etc. But she said it kind of like, 'look how easy you have it now!' </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-they-had-that#post-671221 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:02:34 +0000 mrsjazz 671221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: My mom says the same thing but not in a nice way, like "I don't trust these newfangled contraptions they have for babies now." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-they-had-that#post-671218 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 14:01:42 +0000 rachiecakes 671218@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha my mom (total hippie, too, btw) made all these crazy carriers/slings to wear me and my brother around. She's a RISD grad, textile major, and even made her own fabric. Crafty lady. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-wish-they-had-that#post-671197 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:53:50 +0000 prettylizy 671197@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>.....when my kids were little. I hear this all the time, especially when I'm wearing Prettybaby in my sling on my hip. It cracks me up because slings have been around for a zillion years, this it not a new concept! lol! </p>
