I was born in 1957 and grew up watching these types of films in school. Not to rain on everyone’s nostalgia parade but kids used to laugh at these back then because nobody had these “perfect” families and lives. There was a lot of sweeping things under the rug back then that today would be considered a crime or dysfunctional. The “old people” back then would talk about how “much better” life was in their youth in the 1890s and 1900s.

If your generation laughed at this Millwood film, then watching those character education films must have been a challenge - as in trying not to break out into fits of giggles in front of the teacher. Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K) does a great job of spoofing those films (heckling, scoffing) - at least to my tastes.

That happened with my husband and me. We were high school/early college sweethearts who married the wrong people because they came along at the “right time.” We reconnected 40 years later.

"Elle scooter" My dad was born in 1912. He spent his earliest years in Puerto Rico and when he was approximately 10 years old his mom brought him to the mainland where he spent his young adulthood and the rest of his life. He says that lived in New York and Arizona and traveled on trains during the depression. He said that times were dangerous when he was a young man in the 1920s and he saw gang fights, people getting stabbed and shot, and young girls getting kidnapped, women being assaulted by their boy friends, and he lived in places where people had to lock their doors and have a big stick near the door ready to use in self defense in case anyone breaks in. He said that vagrancy used to be against the law way back then, and if a cop thought you looked like a vagrant then that cop would strike you with his billy club or punch you in the face and it happened to my dad.

She had a vegetable and flower garden in her yard. We would get goodies from the garden and beautiful flowers. I loved staying with my granny. However I missed the whole decade of having a doctor visit the house. If you were sick you went to the hospital and they kept you in there till your stiches or staples were removed. You might stay 1 to 2 weeks. I remembering staying an entire week in the pediatric unit for a broken arm with bone chips that had to be removed. A whole entire week! Nowadays you can go home the same day. It was interesting to be able to pick what you wanted off the menu and they gave you shots every 4 hours for the pain. LOL not in these days anymore!

The best milk ever

I was born in 42 and knew no one with a TV until I was in the 7th grade. We only had sweets on holidays and I don't remember knowing anyone with a weight problem young or old as fast junk food hadn't come into our town yet. People car pooled as there were no two car families. We entertained ourselves as parents weren't running kids to sports, dance, piano gymnastics etc. we had one pair of shoes and got a new pair when the old ones could no longer be repaired at the shoe shop or you out grew them. Our mothers cut and permed our hair at home. We brown bagged it to school and ate our pb&j sandwich, drank our thermos of milk finished with a piece of fruit at our desks before running out to create fun on a dirt play ground void of any playground equipment. Never heard of designer clothes and everyone wore whatever their parents were able to order for them out of the catalog. We had an icebox until I was 6 and then my parents were able to get a fridge with a freezer compartment large enough to hold an ice cube tray! Etc and etc. and if I was to go back the things I would miss the most: central heating and permapress clothes.

@carolynbrown3379 a friend of mine, I will refer to her as "J" who is now in her late 70s grew up in the 1940 and 1950s and one of her brothers had a severe allergy to wheat and back then it was not as recognized as it is now. Food labels could hide a lot of ingredients. "J's" brother's allergy meant that their mom had to go to special health food stores ( much more a rarity back then) to get wheat-free foods. Once "J's " aunt fixed dinner for the family and though she knew that "J's " brother had a severe wheat allergy she put some wheat in the gravy thinking that such a small amount could not do harm but "J's" brother then had to be rushed to the hospital and his parents were told by doctors that one second more the boy would not have survived. Some things are much easier for people born with food allergies now and the medical world has more knowledge about it.

We threw the baby out with the bath water in many ways and denigrated the roles women had that really contributed to the functioning of families and society.

K San, it does depend on where you lived, I suppose. For my father, my in-laws, and even for me, it was like this. The biggest differences were that families were closer knit back then and people were generally more community-minded and more religious. Basically those factors made people more civil to one another and more interdependent. I'm going to agree with Karen and Diana's comments below. My town still had milkmen doing deliveries into the 1970's. Crime was a lot lower - you wouldn't steal from the person at the corner store because that person was your father's dental patient (or whatever) and everyone in the town knew everyone else. The erosion of these things plus the loss of stability from factories closing down made people more cynical and that's really too bad.

I was born in the 50's, and much of this can be from my childhood even thru the 60's. Ah...those were truly the good ole' days !

Hello Lynne, How are you doing?

I was born in 48 so I remember the 50s very well. Parents still had to provide food and shelter for their families. Bills needed to be paid and it’s true things were much less expensive but wages were much much lower. Life was simpler but not necessarily easier and I think that is true for every generation.

We don't think much about it now, (even in here in '52 it gets a passing glance.) But writing, editing, putting together, proofreading, typesetting, proofreading again, THEN printing AND distributing a daily PHYSICAL newspaper is actually an amazing achievement.

I was born in 1956. I remember when the milk man would take our empty bottles and leave fresh milk. I remember the bread man and the smell of fresh baked goods. I also remember when it all ended. There was something magical about that era. I was sheltered from most of life's harsh realities until I entered my fourth year of school. That's when my parents made a decision about my education that would shape me and change the course of my entire life. I consider myself one of the lucky ones. I will forever be grateful to Mom and Dad for their wise decision. Life is what you make it.

In modern times most of these jobs have either been outsourced or turned into crappy minimum wage part-time jobs. This video talks about the importance of all workers and how they help their community, but this totally goes against the grain of modern America where labor is looked down upon, big corporations treat workers like expendable trash, and nobody cares about helping other people in their community.

Also 62. Grew up in California on a street with tons of kids. Walked to school K-12, and even went home for lunch every day. Played all day, and was expected to be home for dinner. The one thing that really saddens me is how kids today--at least from what I see--don't hang out together and explore. They're never outside with each other just getting along and making their own entertainment: everything is orchestrated by their parents or their devices. Seems a horrible way to be a kid--if it's even being a kid at all.

Yes, so many happy memories of rushing home from school and turning on the television and staring at the test pattern until the programming day began.

This reminds me of my own life, the town in which I was raised was Pecatonica, Illinois; named in honor of the Pecatonica Indians, who once dominated the area. As a boy I discovered many arrowheads and other relics from the Pecatonica Indian tribe. When my family lived there in the 1960's the population was less than two-thousand. We had one department store, which was owned by a rather grumpy man named Mr. Benedict, aptly named "Benedict's Dept. Store". There were two restaurants, "The Pecatonica Diner" and a bar & grill which I was too young to enter. 'Pop' was one of the best bowlers on the bowling league team to which he belonged. We kids spent a great deal of time at the YMCA swimming in their Olympic-sized pool, such fun! Our next-door neighbors were an elderly widow lady named Mrs. Anders and a widower named Rolland Dirkson (odd that they were both widowed) and his adorable daughter, can't recall her name just now, she was such a little beauty that she won many local beauty contests. When she was 16 she won the title of "Miss Winnebago County Fair". My father was a dairy products deliveryman, AKA "The Milkman". His great sales ability was noticed by a medical equipment company executive who offered my father a position as a sales executive in the mid-west, propelling my father into great success; he became the wealthiest man in town, "a big fish in a small pond". My eldest brother, Kurt joined the United States Marine Corps and was killed in The Vietnam War. Before his death in 1969, I spent the happiest days of my life in that wonderful Mayberry-like town, we even had a fishin' hole! Years later, when the trials of life would become a bit too much for me, I'd drive to this cherished haven in an attempt to recapture the happiness and peace which I once knew there; but, as Thomas Wolfe wrote: *"You can never go home again."*

My mom was obsessed with green stamps, had books of them. My dad worked for the Post Office delivering mail so I never got to see him in the mornings except on his days office.

My local hardware store asks me upon arrival what I'm looking for and directs me to it. I know my five neighbors and we help each other mow the grass and shovel snow. Connection is a big part of these old films. Look up from your phone and say hello, hold a door open- that's how community is built

Our failure to understand the dialectic, and the failure of the media to report it is why our country (and the world) is experiencing culture cancel.

I was born in 1950 and grew up in Ohio in a small town just about like this one. Everything they talk about in the video was true. People attended community events together, like the 4th of July dance and picnic. You saw all your neighbors in church and at school. Everybody knew everybody else. It was a small microcosm of a world. Of course there were a lot of problems, like race relations and the fighting of small wars all over the place just to name a few, but people generally got along with each other. Everything was cheap back then and our father's were making good money in the steel mills and rubber factories. I remember 12 ears of corn for $1.

All for the sake of marriage to some entitled man who expected his slippers, his pipe, or a cocktail when he got home at 5pm.

I disagree that most women want to stay as house-wives, and if you think about it in our modern context it makes no sense to do so either. The partner + kids will be at work/school 8 hours a day, why should a woman waste her life at home doing nothing when she has the potential for so much more during that time? Many women of those times had serious psychological problems from boredom, apathy etc. it's not natural or healthy for any person's to stay immobile for long periods of time and be confined in the same space. Just like prison isn't healthy either.

As a young child in the early 60s, it was like this growing up in my hometown. We had mild delivered several times a week and the mailman, Mr. Paul, came in through the back down in the morning usually as we were eating breakfast exchanged pleasantries with my mom, patted us on the head and and went and put the milk and any other dairy products my mom ordered in the refrigerator. We also had a vegetable man, Mr. C, who came in a van on Wednesday with all the fresh fruit (seasonal) and vegetables for our needs that my dad didn’t grow in the garden behind our garage. Mr C always saved a few “samples” of the best fruit for me and my brothers. We walked to the drug store, butcher shop, hardware, schools and library. We road the bus to go downtown or further distances. It was much simpler then.

@@user-hj7ps6mq1o I shop local whenever I can. I don't wear political gear but the Official Trump MAGA hats and gear are NOT made in China - you are referring to a meme that shows an unofficial knock-off MAGA hat that was indeed made in China as are most cheap imitation items sold on Amazon. The actual Official MAGA gear used in Trump's campaign ARE indeed manufactured right here in the USA in Carson, North Carolina. I work as a Media Producer and research is 90% of my job. Also many fact-checking sources including SNOPES verified the "China MAGA hat" meme as False - which is shocking for SNOPES, a well-known left-leaning "fact checking" source that routinely skews in favor of the left. While Snopes had no choice but to admit that the Official MAGA merch is manufactured here in the US, it does reiterate that many unofficial third-party MAGA merch is manufactured overseas. All of this notwithstanding, has no bearing on the fact that our sitting president is in openly bed with China (currently under investigation for such)- which has had a far greater impact on the current economic condition of our country than a couple of knock-off 2016 MAGA hats.

I was born in the Late 70"s, but oh man, I would have loved to be part of this simple life.

These 1950's videos are my asmr for going to sleep, love hearing them as I go to sleep. :)

I loved the 50s, but I can't let yesterdays take up too much of today.

We got our milk delivered until around 1967. My neighborhood was a lot like this. The rec center is still there and so is the original library. We walked around two each others homes and to school. We were never afraid. It was idyllic. I was born in 1953.

I was born in 1951. Lived on a small horse ranch in Alta Loma, California. Walked 4mi to school. Bought eggs at the local chicken ranch. Rode my horse to Market to pick up vegetables and fruits paying with a check my Mom signed. The owner knew my family and trusted us. At the Lumber yard or Savings + Loan our family was known and trusted. My uncle was a HS counselor. My math teacher came to our home for dinner. Our front door was always open just like all our family homes. At night I read books or listened to radio drama. Our B+W TV had 3 stations and we all watched Ed Sullivan or Jack Benny. Our town had only 1 sheriff. Our family had lived here since 1890 as Citrus Farmers.

I was always fond of the 50's even though I never lived through them. And no not because I watched happy days or like the back to the future films. Stand by me was good however. It's just in today's stressful world it's easy to daydream about a life that didn't revolve around emails and being addicted to your smart phone that carries your stress wherever you go. A man got up every morning, ate breakfast with his family, kissed his wife goodbye for the day while she maintained the home as he went to work. Dinner promptly at 6pm every night. Weekends were consistent with yard work on Saturdays and church on Sundays. You slept with the doors unlocked and you trusted your government. Today we're all in a hurry to go places we don't want to be, doing things we don't want to do. Everybody is in debt and you're paying more a month for your kid's phones than your parents paid for the house you grew up in. Cars were simpler, people obeyed the law and you didn't have news like radical Islamic terrorism or the BLM hate group. If you told someone in the 50's that we would someday have a tv actor and a real estate tycoon as presidents they would choke on their pezz. I guess I'm fond of that time because of my own hectic and connected life. I want to disconnect and the 50's just seemed like the perfect vacation.

Agreed, Nazis suck as a hate group towards POC. BLM will always be a wonderful thing. ;) Might not wanna drop race into your fantasy of living in the 50s again, it tells some things about you that you should be ashamed of.

I would love to have grown up in a small town like that, during that era.

I want to go back to those days, when things were so much more "normal" and kids could go to sleep at night and not think about what a mess we're now living in. When the milkman used to bring the milk to our house, and we'd never ever imagined a world with drive-by shootings/gangs, drugs all over out street corners, screwed up politicians and the GREED OF TODAY.

Every Generation has it's charme and bad sides of course. Gen Z has to deal with the new snowflake generation, climate change, future water shortage and the unnecessary and inhuman developement of technology. In the 50s as a teen you would be extremely limited in your freedom and spare time. Also, in the 50s the USA was in an extreme anti-communist state, thus arresting any potential non-capitalist. Still both the 50s and 2000s are beautiful in their own way. The 50s because of their classiness and "simple" life, the 2000s because of better access to knowledge, equal rights, generally more freedom/less stigma

Well it wasn't always so heavenly, but life was slower paced. We seemed to have more routines. You knew what to expect. But factory work was gruelling, and no air conditioning. But the old cook stoves and refrigerators lasted forever! Well made products. That is what I really miss. But the freezer in a 50s fridge was very very small. They expected ladies to go shopping almost every day. Most jobs just brainless grunt work, as I called it. But it paid, and one was glad to work. Now more automation. Less unskilled jobs.

Had an older friend of mine tell me they would take their shotguns to school and leave in the principles office and pick them up at the end of the day to go hunting before dark. Can you even imagine that?

I was born in the 60's, we allways had dinner at 5 in the evening, all the family together. Only if my dad had to rork late we ate without him but that was seldom. We moved to our summer cottage the same day the school finished each summer. Then we moved back to town(apatmentbuilding) the day before school started. We never had a car,we went everywhere by bus,train,tram or by bicycle. Our whole family had bicycles. It was a happy childhood in Scandinavia.
