 * Example 1-They always had work, even in the dead of winter. Also, they couldn't play until their days work was completed and satisfactory.**

"We must accomplish a portion of work before we could play, shelling so many bushels of corn or cutting, splitting or carrying wood into our house in the dead of winter.


 * Example 2-While we play in the summers, without work or cares, the 19th century children worked physical jobs.

"H**oeing an allotted portion of the garden or other similar work in the summer."


 * Example 3- Even women did vigorous chores, unlike the women today.**

"She was a vigorous active woman, aiding much in the work of the family, but a strongminded, nervous, somewhat overbearing woman, ordering us children or cuffing us as if we were her own, having her partialities among us, preventing a steady family government."


 * Example 4- Everyone took part in some form of work to aid the family.**

"It was a life of hard labor for my mother to sustain her family in this way, but we boys were early put to trades, the brother next above me and myself each going into the printing office at the age of twelve, to learn the trade, our sisters folding books, or taking turns in a part of them attending the village Seminary while a part stayed at home to help mother in doing the housework for the family of boarders."

Unlike today, the entire family was always doing something. While we leave most of the work and labor to our parents and others. Children endured the extremes of the weather while they did work, when we would be inside drinking water or cocoa! What a difference in the work ethic in families! Today, the women don't do much activity that involve long hours of backbreaking intensity, such as those of the 19th century. I would rather live in the 19th century, because I would stay fit, grow muscles, and have a better work ethic. Also, I would have more insentives to do things I would not attepmt today.**
