Ahh...the good old days.....

The Good Wife's 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 be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal 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 of 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. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

During 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 to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

Be happy to see him.

Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please 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.

Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

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.
Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him 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 judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

A good wife always knows her place.


People want to know whats wrong with this country, well, there you go. I happen to like the good ole' days....

Anybody else?????

 

both ways

I know my wife would meet all of the above, but you know in this world today it usually takes both working and in some cases each have 2 jobs. So I know at our house it kinda works both ways with all of that. Your right about being the good old days. Thank God for all of our great wives.

 

This must have been written by June Cleaver because if I demanded any of those things to happen my wife might use a "Cleaver"


Ahhhh...the good ol' days. Someone told me about them.

 

If all that stuff started happenng, I'd be gettin' might suspicious.

 

You can't cook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Oh My.....

You must seek mental health HELP immediately!! You possibly have lost your mind!!!! LOL

 

I knew you were waiting to chime in on this one...

I knew you were going to drop your jaw when you saw this one...Of course you know my tounge was firmly planted in my cheek when I put this on....

I think it is a riot. I would not know what to do if this was the case in my house. I would like to try it and learn, but none apply. Especially not the
"don't ask him questions or question his judgement or integrity. He is the MASTER!!!!!"

As you Seinfeld show buffs know, George proclaimed he was "master of his own domain" only.

 

Cook

Best Cook in Hickory (maybe State), so come on over and enjoy

 

You know what happened to June Cleaver...

She was taken OUT by the desperate housewives on the street!!!! LOL
Ward now resides with the beotch that runs the company he works for! LOL The Beave and Wally both drive mini vans and are house husbands somewhere in the burbs! LOL

 

And then she'd knock me into next "june"
