< Whatever happened to the good ol' days!
<
<
< <
< <
< < The following is from an actual 1950's Home Economics textbook
< Intended
< < for High School girls, teaching them how to prepare for married
< life.
< <
< < < 1. HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night
< before, to have a
< < delicious meal - on time. 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 prospects of a good
< meal are
< < part of the warm welcome needed.
< < <
< < < 2. PREPARE YOURSELF: Take 15 minutes to rest so you
< will be refreshed
< < when he arrives. Touch up your make-up, 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. His boring
< < day may need a lift.
< < <
< < < 3. CLEAR AWAY CLUTTER. Make one last trip through the
< main part of
< < the house just before your husband arrives, gathering up
< schoolbooks,
< < toys, paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your
< husband will
< < feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give
< you a
< < lift too.
< < <
< < < 4. PREPARE THE CHILDREN. Take a few minutes to wash
< the children's
< < hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair, and if
< necessary,
< < change their clothes. They are little treasures and he would like
< to see
< < them playing the part.
< < <
< < < 5. MINIMIZE THE NOISE: At the time of his arrival,
< eliminate all noise
< < of washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be
< quiet.
< < Greet him with a warm smile and kiss, letting him know you're glad
< to see
< < him.
< < <
< < < 6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with problems or
< complaints. Don't
< < complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor compared
< with what
< < he might have gone through that day.
< < <
< < < 7. MAKE HIM COMFORTABLE. Have him lean back in a
< comfortable chair or
< < suggest he lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink
< ready for
< < him. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in
< a low,
< < soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
< < <
< < < 8. LISTEN TO HIM: You may have a dozen things to tell
< him, but the
< < moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
< < <
< < < 9. MAKE THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he does not
< take you out to
< < dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to
< understand his
< < world of strain and pressure and his need to be home and relax.
< < <
< < < 10. THE GOAL: try to make your home a place of peace
< and order where
< < your husband can relax.
