This is exactly the case with my husband, who's older than I- in his mid 50s. Having a child now, he is nearly two generations separated from what young parents consider the normal, enlightened way to parent.
Even my therapist, who was trained in the 90s, is a little out of touch with how a lot of parenting was done in the 50s and 60s. It wasn't all Leave it to Beaver.
