.....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!
-
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.
-
@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."
-
My grandma said that constantly when she visited. About our ergos, bouncers, double strollers, etc. But she said it kind of like, 'look how easy you have it now!'
-
@rachiecakes: that's awesome! RISD hippie- I love it!
@mrsjazz: lol! My mom doesn't think my sling is safe because there aren't leg holes
@MerryC: That nicer than the usual "in my day we made due with..." that I hear sometimes.
-
I get that all the time when I'm wearing him in the Ergo.
-
I get that about our video monitor. 'Back in my day we had to go into the room to see what the baby was doing'
-
I heard this a lot at the baby shower I attended this past weekend. 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!
-
I've gotten that before with a shopping cart cover...I didn't think they were that new of a concept!! haha
