Good wife's guide

[*Giddy Up*]

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Here's a link for an e-mail I got today. It's an actual article taken out of Housekeeping Monthly from 1955- written to teach women how to be the best and most "proper" wife. Thought you guys might want to see to either chuckle, say, "yeah right!", or just as a comparrison for times...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#A href="http://64.4.19.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/Theplaceofawife%2ejpg?&msg=12D5E205-2B72-44E3-A704-A71A3552B20D&start=0&len=258243&mimepart=5&curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&b=784f931edca0f48b8588300619b44b7c&disk=10.1.106.207_d2755&login=sugarplum_bubblegum29&domain=hotmail%2ecom&_lang=EN&country=CA&SafeRedirect=%26hm___ts%3d1129068943%26hm___ha%3d759f02ef056936a939982bcdff36826e"#ed_cl#http://64.4.19.250/cgi-bin/getmsg/Theplaceofawife%2ejpg?&msg=12D5E205-2B72-44E3-A704-A71A3552B20D&start=0&len=258243&mimepart=5&curmbox=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&b=784f931edca0f48b8588300619b44b7c&disk=10.1.106.207_d2755&login=sugarplum_bubblegum29&domain=hotmail%2ecom&_lang=EN&country=CA&SafeRedirect=%26hm___ts%3d1129068943%26hm___ha%3d759f02ef056936a939982bcdff36826e#ed_op#/A#ed_cl##ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#That's not the entire article. There are bits on how to behave during sex that would make you all ROTFLYAO. John Derringer (when he was still on afternoons on Q107) got ahold of this article and read it on the air. I think the customers who were in the store at the time thought we had all gone completely mad - luckily they were established ones and not new, otherwise I'm sure they would never have come back. All 4 of us stood back in the lab in hysterics listening to him read this and no-one was getting served.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#My boss got a copy of it and read it at his niece's wedding, I also had one at some point that my brother read at my sister's wedding.#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Thanks for posting that Dee! I didn't know how to make it bigger (if I did, it would go blury).#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Yeah, it's crazy. I definitely see your point P4S! #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#The other tone I got from it, was that alot of women in that era were probably faking it- the line that says "show sincerity in your voice". As for the other things, like don't get me wrong, if my future husband were to ask me to make him something to eat or get him a drink, I"d have no problem doing it because it would be out of love (not because I "have" to)- but completely being their slave? Because that's what the article makes it sound like- you are my slave and have no other job but to be so- yikes!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Ruth- lol, I've never seen the other part of the article. Would be funny to see!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
