058 From Boiling Pots to Pampers: The Messy History of Mid-Century Parenting 👶🧷

Think parenting is hard now? In this episode of The Mid-Century Vault, Philip Mershon takes us back to a time before "toss-and-go" was an option. From the grueling labor of boiling cotton diapers on the stove to the status symbol of the 1950s diaper service, we explore how the "Baby Boom" transformed American housework forever. We’re diving into: The Boiling Era: Why Monday was the most dreaded day of the week. The Diaper Service: When the diaper truck was as common as the milkman. The Victor Mills Story: How a P&G engineer’s dislike for grandpappy duties led to the invention of Pampers in 1961. The Trade-off: How we swapped industrial laundry for the "landfill culture." Whether you were a cloth diaper baby or part of the disposable generation, this look at 1930s-1970s pop culture is a trip down memory lane you won't want to miss.
