How to be good wife in 1955

[phill4paul]

Yes it was, a trick to lower the living standards of the middle class by flooding the labor market.

Now, having run it's course, the next stage is to do the exact same thing with illegal migrant workers.

Exactly, make the working class poor and needy of government services. I've seen dry-wallers up in Virginia go from $20.00 an hr to the point they decided they were better off to just not work, because being on the dole provided more in terms of services vs. their paychecks.. Women weren't the ones replacing them.

Love when my people insist "It was better back then." "Those were the good ol' days." They certainly were not. I wasn't there, but this kind of ridiculousness outright shows how shitty the times were. Nevermind the fact that people were still strongly suppressing blacks and minorities. There was no internet, the stronghold of this whole movement, and there was no cell phones. Refrigerators were scarce and microwaves were only invented about 15 years before. By no means is today some great place. All the evil is just behind the curtain ready to spill out, but civilization wise (you know what I mean), we are doing MUCH better. Be happy to be alive now.

Nonetheless, I can only pray that i would have a wife like that. A mindless robot who does everything I tell her to and who doesn't argue. Come to think of it...I'd rather not.

As you said, you were not there. So how would you know? I grew up in those days, and as a child, it was wonderful to have my Mother home when I came home from school. When I was very young, she picked us up from school and brought us home for lunch. And at dinner, all of us were there around the table. Afterwards, we would either play games as a family or watch television. When I needed one of my parents, I knew there was always one of them around.

Don't knock something you clearly know nothing about.

Note: BTW, refrigerators were NOT scarce. No cell phones? Big frickin' deal. Back then, we actually had more interesting things to do than to talk on the phone 24 hours a day.

Sometimes I think we have a generation that is totally dependent on all the techno gizmos, and the "keep up with the Joneses" drive to have all the gizmos is one way to keep most people on that slave treadmill.

In my lifetime, it's always been like that.

But Jesus, that would be 200o years of civilization keeping up with the Jones'

Ok, I'll admit it... My secret dream is to be a 1950s housewife. I want to wear the cute dresses, curl my hair, and stay home and bake all day.

I'm not stopping ya!

I was expecting closer to twenty pages by the time I woke up, but I won't call this thread a failure, yet.

Ok, I'll admit it... My secret dream is to be a 1950s housewife. I want to wear the cute dresses, curl my hair, and stay home and bake all day. I want at least 4 kids. Unfortunately, nowadays a lot of middle class women just financially can't afford to stay home even if they want to.

Mrs. AF is living your dream.

She's standing over my shoulder right now and says it is worthwhile and wouldn't trade it for anything.

The Family is the Basic Unit of a Successful Society

It's crazy how much social norms can change in just 54 years. I think I was born about 54 years too late.

Opinions?

Some of the admonitions there are good, while others I would say are a bit extreme, such as the wife not questioning her husband about anything. Still, I think the breakdown of the family as well as the so-called "empowerment of women" from the feminist movement has destroyed our country so much that we have become ignorant of what true family life is suppose to entail.

The destruction of the family only leads to loyalty to the State as both "Dad" and "Mom". For instance, instead of mommy taking care of the kids at home in education, kids are sent off to government schools to learn what "Mama Government" thinks is true about the world. Mothers are the keystone to a healthy childhood, for the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world.

no seriously me too, except i also want a 1950's husband to go along with it, ward cleaver comes to mind

 

[vegaspilot03]

that's awesome

 

[priest_of_syrinx]

That is not true. They were just not the the plethora of government programs and laws to deal with it like now. Communities were more tight knit.

I remember an older photo of a lady who shot her husband in the back of the head while he ate dinner. The cops lead her away, not in handcuffs, but with her carrying her purse. She got off too.

Nothing wrong with someone staying home and comforting the one who has been out for the whole day earning the bacon, whether it is a man or woman who takes on that role.

This comment made me think of this music video.

I couldn't resist.

Can I marry you?

Just kidding, Josh!

I'm sure at first they sucked it straight from the udder too.

Worst post in this thread!







Congrats though, it was also the funniest.

Bruno, do you realize that your gleeful antics over what you took as the "license to cheat" is, in the eyes of some readers/lurkers, akin to shouting with a bullhorn, "hey, I don't respect contracts and will break them if I want to neener neener" ???

Only to those who don't understand things like humor and sarcasm.

 

[Matt Collins]

I think they still sell these, but you have to import them from Russia.

They are more expensive in the short term, but turn out to be less expensive in the long term.... so I've been told
