My goodness… I certainly blew it by being a wife, I should have been a husband, eh?

I wonder if anyone bothered to write a column to husbands to tell them how to look after their wives!!!!

Just reread your introduction and see this was from a Home Ed textbook!!! OMG.

It’s so hard to believe that’s what was expected of a wife, to be honest my dad use to say to my mum – with tongue in cheek -‘a good wife would have the dinner on the table as I walked in!’ I think her response was something like ‘you can b….er off!’😃

So strange to see this now. I’ve seen similar advice for women back then. Even in the late 1970s, when I was expecting my daughter, we were given a guide book for what to expect. One piece of advice was when you pack to go to the hospital to give birth, don’t forget to bring your cigarettes if you have them. !!!!!

Honestly, that is so sad and offensive, I can’t bring myself to like your post. But what is weird,I think it is good advice for when you have planned house guests. LOL

I’m so glad I didn’t live back then! I’d definitely have ended up being unmarried I think. Now, where did I put that ribbon for my hair 🙄

Wow, this reminds me of some old movies. Times were different and some things just wouldn’t be accepted nowadays. Thanks for the laugh, Esther. My husband and I are a team, so he does just as much as I do around the house. 🥰

I’ve printed it off and pinned it on the fridge. This may be my final comment 😂

You know, it seems so odd just how the original author has nailed my every need so precisely. It’s like I’m suddenly freshly in the dating game all over again. 💍

I have seen this type of arrangement in my grandparents day… it got better in my parents day, but some ‘gents’ still expected more. I’d like to believe that (especially now that both my Hubby and I are retired) that we share equally. Though I do tend to prepare most of the dinners and he does take care of the majority of the bills 😉
