catbirdseat Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Why the ? There's some good advice in there. I think it probably was an actual text book from the 1950's. Those were different times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minx Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 why the because this is awful.  someone gave me a copy of this right before I got married ... i assumed they were joking.  a good wife always knows her place? isn't that at the office? climbing? on top? at the spa? i'm so confused  what does the wife actually get out of this?  Be happy to see him. ...what the hell kind of insight is this? duh.  hmmm... the 50s were weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Minx, you have to remember it was a time in which many women did not work after they married. Don't judge people of a different time by todays standards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minx Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 i don't judge them by todays standards. i still think it's trite even by 50s standards. who on earth would write and publish that drivel. good grief. it's not as though there are any earth shattering insights there. Â still doesn't change the fact that the 50s were weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Sure it was weird. It was a time that followed years of war in which a large percentage of the young men were overseas. The reaction that followed their return was an over-emphasis on domestic life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raindawg Posted August 29, 2006 Share Posted August 29, 2006 Back off, Feline/Avian Chair! Â I'M LIBERATED NOW!!!! eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh! Â "And furthermore..." Â "Hey Catbird....get your 5.7 butt into the kitchen and make me a sammich!" Â "Look! There's pictures of girls in the new edition of "Freedom of the Hills!....are you licking that spoon again? Back off, you little freak..." Â P.S. The '50's were what they were. Lots of people found life pleasant back then and some didn't. Our present society sure is lame, confused and violent!

pope Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Ladies... Are you thinking about getting married? You should know that there are three things that every man wants when he comes home from work: 1) a clean house 2) a warm meal 3) a piece of this   If you can't provide these things, hubby ain't gonna be happy and neither will you.

fear_and_greed Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Can we guess at what some of the husbands occupation were? Let's try and match up some the lines... Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet____Bomb disposal expert. Â Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work____ Mob enforcer. Â Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice_____G-force man/rocket sled tester.

Â Who would publish it?! Geez, trite drivel is thriving business. Flip through a Cosmo or other chick mag. The specific advice may have changed in 50 years, but its still all trite drivel.
