That is too funny--

My mom bought a super old book for ladies way way long ago--and it was worse than this IT was about managing a household including the servants. That was a FUNNY book!

hmmm...looks suspiciously like Dr. Laura's rants! (so that's where she got it!)

And now we know why women were popping tranquilzers like candy in the fifties.

Wait a minute! Are all you ladies saying you don't behave this way? I know I do. It's my greatest joy to serve and obey my DH.

If only he's stop treating me like an equal...

These things were actually put in school books in the 50's. I got an email similar to this that was an excert froma school book circa 1950.

I am obviously a very very BAD wife!

Thanks for the laugh. My gave me a booklet on childrearing she received when I was born in the early 70s that has some similar advice. We got a good laugh out of it.

If DH ever stayed out all night, when he came home, I would: run the vacuum, washer, dryer, dishwasher, have the kids dirty and sweaty, complain loudly, pinch the kids to make them scream, burn his supper, and pour a drink in his face. Oh yea, and I would be the one who talked first.

Would that make me a bad wife?

I think that this is awful. Why waste a perfectly good drink?

The question here is whether the piece quoted above really came from a home economics textbook. Is it real, or is it yet another of those "look how far we've come" fabrications? Well, so far nobody has turned up the infamous textbook that supposedly included these ten steps.

Additional information: An image purported to be a digitized photocopy of the 13 May 1955 edition of a magazine called Housekeeping Monthly circulates with this message, but the graphic is a fake, created by simply adding text around a 1950s-era magazine graphic. (The image itself even bears an "Advertising Archives" legend along its side.)

Am I the only woman here that would really like a wife like that?

My DH collects car memoribila from the late 1950's early 1960's. One thing he has is a Chrylser marketing brochure that talks about how customers should let "the little woman" pick out the interior and exterior car colors.

I told DH if he ever called me "the little woman" he get good and smacked BIG time .

Although I grew up in the 1960's I was surrounded by very independent women and never experienced this behavior. I can't imagine my dad treating my mom like this. He would have been sleeping in the car.

If I decided "to be a little gay" DH definitely thinks that it would make "things more interesting"!!!

I know mine wouldn't as long as she had dinner waiting for us, the house cleaned, and the kid all cleaned up & quiet!
