There are many of us....moms from another generation. Our children were born in 63, 68, and 75. All used cloth diapers. The ones with the big pins. I remember washing and folding diapers was a chore that I did not like. Had to make sure the plastic pants did not get into the dryer. Did not have to worry about that with the first. We did not have a dryer! When our second child was born, my mother-in-law told my husband that it was impossible for a mother of two to wash clothing and dishes either by hand or wringer washer. Yep, got an automatic washer, dryer, and a dishwasher! Then ovens started cleaning themselves. Progress, love it. I never mentioned to my husband or his mom that my mother did all the hard work without the help of any major appliances with 3 children under the age of five. I only had one in diapers at a time. A little trip down memory lane this morning!
