Stupid wife, ruining everything! Best have a go on the secretary, that'll learn her.

@poetryofimage Don't forget there was no daytime tv in the 50s either. So women didn't sit on the couch and watch tv. They were active, hence why they were so fit.

@poetryofimage I realize yours is an old post (four years), but I completely agree. I am a full-time housewife and I work VERY hard. I am not 'oppressed' in anyway; my husband and I are equal partners in this life and I am very content.

@poetryofimage Who wants to do housework? Besides it was the 50s, most women were already working.

It was all a conspiracy. Mr Jones didn't really have a wife. He couldn't find one as he was next to useless and so he had to pretend to wave to one so that the neighbours wouldn't gossip. He hadn't had breakfast because he had forgotten to pay the milkman (who was busy supplying Mrs Clark with her gold tops at No. 49).

@MrStinkyWilson wow i wish you had told me that before i started working 40 hours a week and go to school at the same time as raising my children...yup i sound really useless....
Ya'll don't get it. Back then being a housewife was a JOB. You don't just sit around and do nothing while your husband makes his own breakfast. He worked hard, so did she. It wasn't sexist. It was just they had different roles. She was expected to actually do stuff at home, not just sit around watching youtube.

Add some more sugar to the already sweetened corn flakes, in order to make sure your husband will die soon from diabetes. :)
