I got this in an email, but wow.... this is an appalling article.

*psst...whatever* Glad I didn't grow up or am an adult during that era.

barwars · 07-07-2005, 09:23 PM

....those were the days.

swedeace · 07-07-2005, 09:26 PM

Yep....wow.. it's amazing how much our society has changed!

"A good wife always knows her place."

You'd never see an article like that for men or hear the words "A good husband always knows his place."

Pitooey · 07-07-2005, 09:28 PM

I am so glad times have changed.

swedeace · 07-07-2005, 09:30 PM

Haha.. yeah, I agree! The article just sounds so wishy-washy and so fairytale-like that it's scary.

Make the evening his. Oh, so he gets the day and the night too?? When do you get, a minute in the morning before he wakes his lazy ass up??

Make yourself pretty because he's been with a lot of work weery people all day. And what, cleaning isn't work??

So, when was the woman supposed to complain?? It's a wonder more women didn't explode.

That'd never work in our house. I come home from work and complain. My mom comes home from work and complains. My dad just sits and eats his dinner.

Sadly though, that's the environment my mom grew up in. Grandma made what grandpa wanted for dinner...no exceptions. Which is why my mom always tried to hide her green beans and steaks.

Did June Cleaver write that article?

Is it wrong of me to want a wife like that?
