I think it was a Google Alert that (somehow) brought this to my attention earlier today (I’m giving only the titles of each little section):
I want to share with you for just a moment, an excerpt out of an actual 1950’s Home Economics textbook. You might have read this before, but take a moment and read it again:
How to be a Good Wife
HAVE DINNER READY
PREPARE YOURSELF
CLEAR AWAY THE CLUTTER
PREPARE THE CHILDREN
MINIMIZE ALL NOISE
SOME “DO NOT’S”
MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE
LISTEN TO HIM
MAKE THE EVENING HIS
After quoting from the old textbook, the author details what she learned from it and how she’s applying it in her home.
