Joylin, You had REALLY better STOP that before it gets to be a habit! You
never know WHAT that child might pick up next!

Hey, I loved and STILL loved reading those kind of things as a kid. How to
organize a wedding. Baby shower games. Ideas for birthday party favors. I'd
read accounts of funerals to see how pall bearers seemed to be chosen.

I've never read anything cooler, though, than old etiquette books that tell
what color livery servants should wear, and what the separated duties of
upstairs maids and chamber maids and downstairs maids and such should be. Calling
cards and home visits. And how to respond to a formal invitation if you can't
go, and how to send gifts for weddings for people you don't even know!!
That was a trove of social trivia, and sometimes in there you can see the roots
of things we still do today. Pretty cool!!

I think my favorite old read was a parenting book my mother got when she
was pregnant with my sister. It had great information on breastfeeding,
for the most part, but the other stuff (diet, hygene, dress, etc.) was
just too much. I laughed all the way through it. The assumption was
the pregnant woman was married and a stay at home mom.

I also have a 1940something planned parenthood book. That's even better.

Emma and Michael

I found an old preggie guide from the 70s in a junk shop a few years ago. The photos were hilarious. The chapter on conception had a couple walking along the beach at sunset. The chapter on labour starting had a woman at the kitchen sink (naturally) leaning forward a tiny bit, with one hand on her side. Then when you get to the serious end of labour there was a photo montage of the three stages of labour - very dramatic shots - all from the waist up!!!!!!!
Cheers,
Emma (virgin poster...hi ya!)
