I can't believe that this is how some people lived. Im sorry but that would not be happening within my house. Maybe the other way around ha ha. Your dumb if you want this and im going to guess your not married?
Would be somewhat of a welcomed break?? How is that comment NOT sexist? Get TRUE. My husband does not need to be and will not be waited on hand and foot. We are EQUAL within our marriage.
Wow I think I need a wife that sounds nice. Geeze talk going on for old school.
Get a life seriously!
Oh no you didn't haaha
Edit : I know this would spark some comments your brave haha
My husband and I are equal in our marriage as well, but I'm a SAHM and I do try to own dinner fixed and help him relax when he gets home. Most of that stuff sounds sexist but only if you want it to. He never complains roughly how the house looks and the kids b/c he knows I have a busy day but I try to agree to him relax before I ask him to do anything. It's how I show him that I love him and respect that he works hard so I don't have to.
So, ok, it's not 1950 anymore but I still enjoy a job to do in my home and showing my husband repect doesn't make him lord over me. We own mutual respect for one another. There's nothing sexist about that.
As soon as my husband's salary supports our family instead of my gross paying the bills...
My stupid home economics professor in high school give everyone a copy of this. Of course, mine got torn up and ended up in the trash. She be such a nut case!

Home Economics High School Text Book, 1954
Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night since, to have a delicious meal, prompt. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking almost him and are concerned about his needs. (It's called Subway!)
Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a moral meal are part of the warm make the acquaintance of needed. (Too bad, so sad.)
Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that you'll be refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon surrounded by your hair and be fresh-looking. (So my unshaved legs and frizzy hair are unacceptable? The later time I used my eye liner, it gave me an eye infection..no thanks!)
He has only been with a lot of work-weary inhabitants. Be a little gay and a little more interesting. (No way surrounded by heck I'm going both ways, and no way in heck I'm making things 'interesting' with bringing some gay woman home, LOL)
His boring year may need a lift. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the crucial part of the home just before your husband arrives, reap up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. (If he doesn't like the mess, he can clean it himself.)
Then run a dust cloth over the table. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and command, and it will give you a lift, too. (Like I gave a rat's reverse about him feeling like he's within haven and everything's in order...he's got children to whip care of too!)
Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and face (if they are small), comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would approaching to see them playing the part. (Gosh, my daughter's hair is a mess.and she's totally not matching.oh okay, too bad, so sad.)
Minimize all hubbub. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to buoy the children to be quiet. (No thanks, I like my conditions TV noise)
Be happy to see him. Greet him with a warm smile and be glad he is home. (If I'm p*ssed at him for some common sense, no way in heck I'm going to hide it. He's going to hear it from me. Trust me.)
Some don'ts: Don't greet him near problems or complaints. Don't complain if he is late for dinner. (If I need to complain, I will. In fact, I complained yesterday because my husband used the ending bit of toilet paper, and didn't even tell me about it. So I have to go to WALMART and get some at 2 AM! YOU BET YOUR BUTT I COMPLAINED!)
Count this as minor compared with what he might own gone through that day. (Like what? Sit around and pretend to fix stuff? LOL RIGHT. From what I hear, they just look up silly videos on YouTube and play little video games. Yea, complicated work.)
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he pretend down in the bedroom. (I will suggest no such thing, lest he get any thinking. In that case, I have a headache all of a sudden.)
Have a cool or heat drink ready for him. (LOL, warm beer anyone?)
Arrange his pillow and offer to hold off his shoes. (He can take his own d*** shoes off. I'm not his mother.)
Speak within a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. (I'm Latina. There IS no such thing as me speaking in a soothing and pleasant voice, and he knew this when he married me and met my house.)
Allow him to relax and unwind. (Only if I can relax too. Otherwise, not happening.)
Listen to him. (No, I don't take orders from anyone.)
You may enjoy a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first. (No, he's not my master. I talk if,when, and why I want to.)
Make the evening his. (The evening is mine too! And no instrument I am going to make the evening his, so he can relax while I spent all day doing errands and taking effort of the baby and changing diapers. No. Just no.)
Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment. Instead, try to appreciate his world of strain and pressure, his need to be home and relax. (I will, have, and do complain if I FEEL NEGLECTED.)
The Goal: Try to make your home a place of peace and instruct where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.(NO. HE IS NOT MY MASTER. THIS HOME IS A DEMOCRACY. And if not, later it's my way or the highway, or there will be some serious nagging going on. And yes, the drama queen in me WILL come out full throttle.)
:-)
I would hold been a rebel back surrounded by the day. No way in heck a man is going to relay ME what to do. Ever.
It's slightly sickening.
As soon as he can afford my $350K replacement salary I might consider this.
That's so funny! It made me laugh out loud for real!
I read this somewhere else lately.??
" Arrange his pillow and offer to take rotten his shoes. Speak in a low, soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind. Listen to him. You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him settle first. Make the evening his. Never complain if he does not take you out to dinner or to other places of entertainment."
Yeah not gonna happen in my house. LMAO
Answers: I always put a ribbon in my hair basically before my husband arrives.. who doesn't? Seriously, this stuff is common sense, LOL :-P
Things have definitely changed over the years! I couldn't even begin to visualize doing half of those things on the list - maybe if I didn't work and enjoy any kids. I'm sure glad things are more 50/50 now.
times hold change.i guess back then relatives were clueless.
you know, this high school home economics book still have not been found. Many people speculate that this was in actuality a magazine article produced in a womens home magazine that teaches a wife how to worship her husband. Things have markedly changed over the years...
Man i'm sorry but i'm surprised that textbook didn't have things in it approaching "offer to wipe his a$s" as well! I'm glad times have changed!
