Women know your place!!

How to be a Good Wife.

(The following is an exception from a 1950’s New Zealand High School Home Economics Text Book)

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal (especially his favourite dish) is part of the welcome needed.

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so that you’ll look refreshed when he arrives. Touch up your makeup, 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. Gather up schoolbooks, toys papers etc. then run a dust cloth over tables. In the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel that he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all catering for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

Prepare the children. Take a few minutes to wash the children’s hands and faces (if they’re small), comb their hair, and if necessary change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like to see them playing the part.

Minimise all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quite. 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.

Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real needs to be home and relax.

Your goal. Try to make sure your home is a place of peace, order and tranquillity where your husband can renew his body and spirit.

Some don’ts. Don’t greet him with problems or complaints. Don’t complain if he is late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as a minor compared with what he might have gone through that day. Don’t ask him about his actions or question his judgement 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.

You know if I said this to my wife she'd go fucking off it

@Jimmy... they get worse when they've had kids mate. The "I had to go through childbirth" speech rears it's head. That's the point where I normally shut up

Re: Re: Women know your place!!

Aye, the period coversation is also a favourite of my lass mate.
Giving birth is nowt compared to some of the shits I have had today

Re: Women know your place!!

"When you get home I'll be in bed with Mrs Smith from next door!"

Dream on boys.

Re: Re: Women know your place!!

i laughed when i read that bit too.

Be a little more interesting - "Darling, i was thinking to night you could bum me whilst the dog licks peanut butter of your balls."

I'll have a word with all of your missuses if you prove you work as hard as my other half (and make as much money) to keep them in a life of luxury

A post work massage and meal is a small price to pay
