Rules for Housewives in the 50's

From a 1950's high school home economics textbook, teaching girls how to prepare for married life.

1. Have dinner ready: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time.

This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good meal are part of the warm welcome needed.

2. Prepare yourself: Take 15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking.
He has just been with a lot of work- weary people. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables.
Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift, too.

4. Prepare the children: Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if necessary, change their clothes.
They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

5. Minimize the noise: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer, dryer, dishwasher or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.
Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. Things to avoid: Don't greet him with problems or complaints. Don't complain if he's late for dinner.
Count this as minor compared with what he might have gone through that day.

7. Make him comfortable: Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes.
Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.

8. Listen to him: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.

9. Make the evening his: Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax.

10. The goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and order where your husband can relax.

When you gonna run it by Ms. Lumpy??

And, we'll miss you around here....
 
Right... so now we live in a world where that list is mocked, and women strive to do the precise OPPOSITE: be complete nasty bitches. Cut men down, insult them, be "tough", be a career woman, stay barren, don't have kids, don't even get married, don't try to look nice, blah blah blah.

So much better off, we all are. Oy vey.

It may be from the 1950's but it's not outrageous. I do most of that list. #2 ain't happening, I don't do ribbons in my hair. #7 taking off his shoes or work boots in the case of my hubby could lead to death by asphyxiation from the fumes.

I'm a stay at home Mom so Planning dinner keeps me organized and hubby from grumbling.

Clearing away clutter and dusting is my job so I do that anyway,why should he work all day and come home to a shithole?

The kids always greeted hubby with "daddys home,Daddy's home" without me having to do it and my kids were always cleaned up by dinner time anyway.

Reducing the noise is just common courtsey so he can relax and watch TV in peace, besides I got all day to do the noisey stuff.

Only thing I say to him when he comes home is "how was your day". Learned a long time ago men need time to decompress before you hit them up with "the microwave is broken". It will still be broken an hour later and he's not running out to get a new one that minute anyway.

Late for dinner? That's what the microwave is for. He's late, we just eat without him and I reheat his dinner when he gets home, no problem.

Evening is always his. He gets the remote and I go back to housework. Go out to dinner? ROLMAO! I know better then to expect that more then twice a year.


Hmmmm Damn it I think Hubby has me trained! When did that happen?:mad:
 
That's crazy talk.

The women of this era, if they have no children at home, can meet their husbands at the front door wearing nothing but a big red bow :)
Then nobody will have to worry about all the other stuff....just say Fuck It~
