Posted: Jul 30, 2010 9:34 am Post subject: Rules For a Good Housewife |
|
|
From the 1955 'Good Housekeeping' Magazine
Quote: | 1. Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before to have dinner ready on time for your husband's return home from work.
2. Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when he arrives.Touch up your makeup, put a ribbon in your hair.
3. Be a little gay (happy) and a little more interesting for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is too provide it.
4. Clear away the clutter in your home.
5. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper, etc. and then run a dustcloth over the tables.
6. Prepare the children, take a few minutes to wash the children's hands and faces, comb their hair, if necessary, change their clothes.
7. Greet your husband with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.
8. Listen to him. He may have a dozen things to say. Let him talk first---what he has to say is more important than what you have to say.
9. Make the evening his. Never complain if he is late or goes out to eat, even if he's been gone all night.
10. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing, and feminine voice.
11. Don't ask him questions about his actions. Remember, he is the master of the house, and you have no right to question him.
12. And finally, a good wife always knows her place. |
