"The Good Wife's Guide" - my, how things have changed

[txteclipse]

But when you think about a guy who just came home from a hard day of menial labor from 9 to 5, I am pretty sure he would appreciate the hell out of everything his wife does for him to make him feel comfortable and at ease.

In the case of the 1950's, workdays were often 10-12 hours long (and you worked six days a week), but yeah. I agree with Operator on this one.

Sorry bout that. Don't know much bout the US history. Seeing as am not American. But oh well, its the thought that counts!

And thanks, TxtEclipse!

Btw, I really am looking forwards to criticisms of what I said or something like that. <<;!!

I just like to debate. x.x; Anyone? >>;

Well now it's starting to look like you might have been more accurate after all. I'm getting a lot of different responses from different sites, but the majority of them say that work hours declined to about 40 hours per week around the 1950's. *shrug*

Anyway, you're welcome.

So I see!
But the info is good. I like learning different random stuff. xD! Don't know when it can come in handy. xD!

It's kind of ridiculous, in my opinion. Stuff like "Take his shoes off for him." My, how times have changed.

W-whhaaatt? o___O

Seriously, that sounds like The Donna Reed Show. Women don't have any more respect than from the 50's? I'm sorry, but that's sad. If my wife did that, I'd tell her to take a chill and enjoy being a wife, instead of feeling like a slave. o_o

And to think, some people prefer the 50's to the current times *cough*afternoon talk radio*cough*

Children were safe and everyone would talk. It was at least happier and less isolated.

Racially segregated schools and restaurants, hiding under desks in case the Russians decided to attack, widespread unfounded fear that communists were infiltrating and taking over the American government, general misunderstanding between the capitalist and communist powers, patriarchal households, not to mention how much people just weren't themselves - I mean, Liberace pretended to be straight in the 1950's. I don't think I would have survived long in that despicable time at all, if just because of the conformity alone.

wow, that's weird... I think I would be creeped out if my significant other did that kind of stuff.

I'd hate it if someone tried to take my my shoes off, I'd probably hit them.
My feet are so ticklish.
Some of that stuff is really odd.
