Whether you work or not.

The 1950s Home

A lot has changed in 50 years...

The following is from a 1950s Home Economics textbook intended for High School 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. Some DON'TS: 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 and 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.

I approve the OP. laws should be written to legally compel women to obey. At least in the instances where the lazy bitch expects the guy to bring home 100% of the house hold income.

"Have a cool or warm drink ready for him."

Wait, what has this go to do with leftists and the government? Or is this a joke. I'm confused and dehydrated.

It is a metaphor for the cradle to grave coddling the left wants from the government.

Hrmm...I get it. You're not very funny, Hot Rod :-p

Seems more a metaphor for your projection of desires and a small insight into why your wife left you.

TH, I never expected to get a laugh out of the liberals. :)

jergul, there is a kernel of truth in there somewhere. :)

saiko
Member Sat Oct 09 15:24:20
Yes, the kernel of truth in this case is that you think disguising chain emails as political threads is somehow not transparent.

Oh My God, this is getting ridicules HR.
You have been asked before to stop with your damned chain letter postings in UP.

For the love of everything, don't you get it, what you might find funny is not what the rest of the world finds funny.

Your humor is like a tumor, everyone wants to get rid of it.

I still don't know why you think I'm a liberal, Hot Rod.

Hot Rod
Member Sat Oct 09 16:50:09
It is not a chain letter, it *IS* a political statement. We are still a political forum aren't we or have we sunk to the level of a Slam Book?

The trouble with you people is you can dish it out, but you can't take it. You never learned to have your little feelings hurt.

If it's not a chain letter then link it.
And let us find this one out.

Totally a chain mail: http://www.snopes.com/language/document/goodwife.asp

And even if it hadn't been, it's still not a political thread just because you say so. It's OT and you know it.

why do you always keep lying HR?
So now stop with your damn chain mails, they are rarely funny.

like I said, it is a metaphor for what the liberals expect from government. Try looking up the word.

"like I said, it is a metaphor for what the liberals expect from government."

And yet, what it actually is, is a caricaturization of conservative gender bigotry from the '50's. God you are so worthless you email spammer.

There isn't anything metaphorical to this thread.

It's a jab at stereotypical 1950's treatment toward women. That's it. And that "Why Liberals Are In Trouble." thread? Also not political in any way.

Stop posting spam mail.

Yes when they're off-topic fifteen year old crap like the ones you pull off joke websites.

Come on AH, your copy catting is getting old even for you. Try something original for a change.

Oh, I forgot. You are a babbling idiot that has never had an original thought.
