I must have had a blessed childhood or a rotten memory
None of that
I do remember being given an eggcup of whiskey to rub on toothache and I remember having scorched legs sitting too close to the fire to get warm I also remember being given newspaper to wrap my sanitary towels in and told to never let Dad see it !! I remember not being alowed to wash my hair or to go swimming when I had a period and I remember longing for a fringe and a wart and never getting either

Whiskey for tooth ache 😂 you must have been posh.
I too remember the corn beef legs (too close to the fire) 😂

Abused, but clean
I can remember putting my daughter's little white tights on her by bumping her up and down in them until they were on "right".

Bath once a week with those scratchy bath salts or Radox, Vosene or Linco Beer shampoo and that bloomin' awful shower thingy which attached to the bath taps, but invariably shot off halfway through washing your hair, so you either got a blast of scalding hot water or freezing cold! And I had really long hair (so long I could sit on it) so I had to endure my mother brushing it (with no mercy!) then putting it into pigtails!

I was watching an old clip on YouTube how we lived in the 60s/70s those awful rubber shower attachments were featured.
Also the ones that went on the kitchen taps, long rubber things that looked like teats.
No fancy pull out taps for us 😂
