I think you all missed the point…… It’s not about what she did but the fact she was willing to do it. if she willing to put that much effort in to a relationship the man best better being putting five times (5X) as much………. I would, 50 years ago it was cleaning all day. Today it is making the effort to spend more time together even if it just 1 hr……. Bottom line for me, if had put more effort in my marriage and if my ex-wife would have done the same. Perhaps we would be one more family still together… Just something thank about, Peace all  Oh and she was willing to do it...lol.....not one woman in the world was willing... just thought they had to silly Oh and if I could stop laughing long enough I would ask what was all the work the man was doing while this was going on....going to work ahhahahahahahahhahaha

I LOVED IT!!! It shows the different choices women now have. I wouldnt say I would do all of the things on that list but most were not unreasonable. I am just glad we live now with the choice to work or stay home.

what planet are you from IRON as im slightly older and although I believe in old fashion manners I would never expect my other half to behave like that and serve on me hand and foot and I don't know anyone else of our age group that do either, so wise up this is the 21st century after all

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first-- remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.
* Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. * Your goal: try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. * Don't greet him with complaints and problems. * Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. * Make him comfortable. have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him 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, soothing and pleasant voice. * Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. * A good wife always knows her place ((Whether you work in or out of your home this is just infuriating!!!!!)) |

I posted this as a “now and then” kind a thing but damn, pissed you y’all off…No wonder you went revolution on our asses in the 60’s and as a side note, I never blamed you. Women are mans equal in everyway and in some cases a little more.
Forgive me for bring up the past Peace

Forgive me for bring up the past Peace Ron -- I'm sure glad you didn't post anything about WWII, otherwise they would have pilloried you as a Nazi. This knee-jerk, attack-the-messenger mentality is sad. Getting upset over the fact that conditions were different 50 years ago is not exactly productive. I guess we're just supposed to ignore anything that ever happened in the past that offends current sensibilities, and pretend it never happened. Times change, people. Get a little perspective. |

Hey brother, you are gonna bring alot of heat on yourself from the women on here lol. It's a different world out there now No, the world is the same. It is the people that have changed, people care less about others these days. People are much more selfish and self-centered these days, people do not "listen" to what others are saying these days. I am not agreeing with "what" was posted, but I may areee with the poster. Case in point, Ron stated RIGHT UP FRONT, "I AM JUST THE MESSENGER". No others are "choosing" to bash him for what was stated by another.....SIGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am glad I am old and have only a short time left to deal with the "people" of this beautiful world. Perception, it is all about one's perception.. |

THE GOOD WIFES GUIDE ................. (from Housekeeping Monthly 13 May 1955) * Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for his return. 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 prospect of a good meal (especially his favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. * Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll 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 or work weary people. * Be a little gay and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it. * Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. * Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run the dustcloth over the tables. * Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. * Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the childrens hands and faces (if they are small) comb their hair and, if necesssary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. try to encourage the children to be quiet. * Be happy to see him. * Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to plaese him. * Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first-- remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. * Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. * Your goal: try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquillity where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit. * Don't greet him with complaints and problems. * Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. * Make him comfortable. have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. have a cool or warm drink ready for him. * Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes.

Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. * A good wife always knows her place. (from Good Housekeeping Monthly 13 May 1955) Here is the way this should read in todays age and time frame (and yes a lot of what was said fro then I disagree with too, even back then) THE GOOD SPOUSES GUIDE..... * Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready, on time for THEIR return. this is a way of letting THEM know that you have been thinking about THEM and are concerned about THEIR needs. Most PEOPLE are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially a favorite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed. * Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll 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 or work weary people. yes you should take time for yourself; not because your other half is on their way home, but because it is needed. And yes you should keep in mind they have been with a lot of ignorant people. * Be a little gay and a little more interesting for them. their boring day may need a lift and one of your dutiesas a spouse is to provide it. * Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. * Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run the dustcloth over the tables. No one likes to see a messy house when they get home, so spouses, try and clean up the clutter a bit, but do not go hogwild. * Over the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction. BULL**** * Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the childrens hands and faces (if they are small) comb their hair and, if necesssary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part. Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. try to encourage the children to be quiet. If the kids are dirty, then you should automatically clean them up wether someone is coming home or not. As far as noise, yes try to minimize it, cause your spouse is probably going to be tired and want to relax. And face it, who can relax with fifteen million appliances running and beeping? * Be happy to see him. * Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him. most definitely be happy, sincere andloving when you greet your spouse!!! * Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first-- remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours. unless you are talking about a life or death situation, loss of home or whatever, yes you should avoid bombarding the returning spouse with questions. They have been dealing with questions and demands all day. let them unwind for a few minutes. * Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax. BULL**** First fifteen minutes or so, yeah make it about the spouse. Make them feel special. after that hell no. * Your goal: try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order, and tranquillity where your SPOUSE can renew themself in body and spirit. this should be the goal of every spouse wether they work or not. * Don't complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day. BULL**** * Make him comfortable. have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. have a cool or warm drink ready for him. BULL**** * Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgement or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always excercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him. BULL**** * A good wife always knows her place. A GOOD WIFES PLACE IS AT HER HUSBANDS SIDE. A GOOD HUSBANDS PLACE IS AT HIS WIFES HEELS....... LMAO JUST KIDDING MEN. ALL SPOUSES SHULD BE STANDING NEXT TO THEIR OTHER HALF AND SUPPORTING IN WHATEVER WAY THEY CAN. |

Thank you Lex, as always you rock....it has always seemed to me that the most of the women here would rather atack then read, love or even just laugh. The reason I don't come here much... Peace |

I agree the less I spend dealing with small minded people of this planet the better off I am. People would rather be mean than have fun with you.....sad |

It's true women out there today want it all, and I was raised take care and love the man that love's me, just what has happened to finding men like that anymore? Men today want women to do it all and provide them with all the material items as well, it seems to me alot of men are selfish and don't know what true love and relationships mean. Hope20

Men today want women to do it all and provide them with all the material items as well, it seem's to me alot of men are selfish and don't know what true love and relationships mean. Hope20 It goes both ways hun... Women had their revolution, and refused to stay home to raise the family while the husband provided for the home. I happen to agree with it happening dont get me wrong, Government took advantage of htis, and started making it so that both husband AND wife had to work in order to make enough to just mniss being impoverished. Men have finally accepted the idea (and the neccesity) of women working, and now want to take advantage of it. I say no way. While my ex was in the military, I stayed home as a stay at home parent. We were able to have me stay home financially, and I fully believe in one parent being home for the children at all times )unless they are on a date of course, lol). As the stay at home parent, I cleaned the house, made dinner, took care of our children, and everything else. When she got home from duty, dinner was waiting or just about finished, if dinishing up, I had a bubble bath waiting for her, so she could have twenty minutes to herself in order tounwiond and get ready for homelife instead of work. Now, if we both had been working, then I would have insisted that chores be split accordingly, and bot h work together to help each other. |
