Women in the 40's and 50's DID have to raise children as well. By choosing not to having children these women are saying they wouldn't be able to REALLY handle living like a 1940s/50s family. They are choosing to not do something because it's 'too hard', when in fact, having children was VERY 1950s
@TeamKilday The reason given for not having children was not that they wouldn't be able to handle really having those responsibilities in the 40's/50's. It had more to do with the difficulty of raising those children in the modern era - which is alien, and the unwanted influences the current era would impose on the family.
Good for these women, and their husbands and boyfriends!!! They are true to themselves and want to have personal dignity and respect! They care very much how they look and act! I wish more women had that much self-respect. They are ladies. Of course you don't need to be retro to be a lady but obviously in the past there was more respect for a lady. By the way my grandmother was an auto mechanic in WWII and a damned good one but she was a lady all the way!
@stlgtrace Yes we often forgot that MANY women in the 1940s and before had jobs on the side, they were full time housewives but also had jobs outside the house, simply to make ends meet.
Generally back then people looked better (compared to today anyway) and people were brought up in a more polite and civilised manner, or at least society seemed that way.
You people are taking the whole thing about this show wrong just like the editors did and that's why they cancelled the show in the first place, because they ( the women) of the show were being depicted in a bad light and editing everything that they were truely saying. The point is to have a vintage lifestyle, NOT to completely live in the past. It would be nice but it's just not possbile.
It seems to me, most of these women, only want the luxuries and ease of the way life use to be but none of the responsibilities of that time.They are fooling themselves into think they are like those women simply by dressing, cleaning, cooking, and makeing their homes look that way but women of that time would NEVER talk down about other people (even if modern ways are ridiculous) they would also WANT children, taking it as a welcomed challange to raise them proper (what ever that might be).
Seems biased... choice is choice...they are not hurting anyone....why depict them with negative undertones.
Many people have kids AND continue happily with their lifestyles.
Many people don't want kids today...it would interfere the lifestyle they have created...some people like to kill their kids before they are born so they don't have to deal with them. THAT'S SICK.

they're like amish people, but rather than living in the 1790's. they live in the 1930's, 40's, and 50's.

@klassy40sgal I get pretty close.
Except my computer my house is 1930s, my lifestyle is 1930s, my manners are 1930s, I'm not there yet, but getting close.

this reminds me of M.Knight Shyamalan's "The Village''. same concept.

@zhazhamoran I liked the idea of that movie.
I'd love to live in a 1930s themed commune, except of course without the obvious monsters, telling kids nonsense, etc.

@growingthehome We call it Neo Traditionalism; combining the best of the past with the best of the present.
And actually women back then would talk down about other people, not all of them wanted children either.
