This could be seen in their differences in emotional attachment to children, their views on having sex before marriage, and their work ethic. During the pre-industrial revolution, their attitude towards children was of poor quality. If one did not want or could not afford a child, even if it was risky and illegal, in many situations women would abort or carry out infanticide to kill their children. If you had your child, the parents of said children did not want to develop emotional attachment to their children due to the high infant mortality rate. Many times they also beat their children. They wanted to prepare their children for the harsh world and thought that abusing them was the way to do it. If their children lived, they would also make them work hard in the handicraft sector to contribute to the family's livelihood. They were treated like miniature adults, dressed in clothes that adults would wear, except in shorter sizes, and spoke the same way, expecting the children to understand. However, in the post-industrial revolution, there was a drastic increase in foundlings to prevent infant death. Mortality rates began to decline and parents began to spoil their children. They would dress their children differently to now allow for movement and comfort. They would give them as much as possible to make them happy and form an emotional bond, learning to love their offspring. However, many other things changed after the Industrial Revolution.

As you can see, man's life before and after the Industrial Revolution was very different, as was their view of children and the care they received, their views on premarital sex and their marital patterns, and how and where where they worked.

It was a brutal world, but the industrial revolution brought extreme changes to people's lives.
