I took my family on a family outing last week to a museum of childhood and games. My better half is into dolls, especially realistic baby dolls, as she has been collecting dolls for years. She reminded me that there was going to be a show of realistic baby dolls at this museum, so we decided we'd go see it.

As soon as we arrived, we immediately saw that this was organized to be a huge exhibition into the lifes and cultures of kids over the last a hundred and fifty years or more. There was one special exhibit that made me realise how tough a life children had back during late 1800's.

The event was showing you the tough situations they'd in their work and also the hours they were required to put in.

One of the instances was chimney clearing. Children at approximately 6 years of age was cleaning the chimneys, with no security tools and was exposed to obvious lung problems. Accidents and tragedy was frequent its unhappy to say. The days had been long too, with kids working so long as thirteen hours a day in factories with just one quick break. How the quality of life has modified in the hundred or so years for the worlds children.

Along the a display, there was a huge array of toys from the previous, right up to the present. A few of these toys reminded me of my childhood, as one or two of the objects on display I used to have, and ranging from toy trains and tricycles, right up to a number of the widespread branded board games we still enjoy today.

It was not only a good time out for all of the family. My better half got to see her realistic baby dolls, and a huge selection of dolls there was. This outing was without a doubt an enjoyable trip and more essentially, a reminder that life was not as simple for children as it may have been back in those tough hard, lengthy working days 100 or so years ago.
