C'mon now. Was it ever really like that or was that just on TV?
First of all, here's a few reasons why I would never do well in the 1950's (following the order of the list in the article).
~I don't cook. I never have, I never will.
~I am always in sweats unless I'm leaving the house.
~I'm grouchy as hell. Most of the time.
~The house is filled with clutter.
~Toys are strewn everywhere, upstairs downstairs, the basement.
~We don't own a fireplace and if I did, p'shaw.
~Fa has her OWN agenda, not BD's and especially not mine. She does what she wants- doesn't matter when BD gets home.
~I AM happy to see him, but I will not dance a tango upon his entrance. Sorry.
~We listen do to each other and have the respect for each other that we each deserve.
~The evening is OURS not just his...What the hell?
~My Goal: try not to jump out a window or choke the dog.
~I am a complainer. I complain. I do. Really.
~Drink? Am I a bartender now too?
~I constantly question his judgement..As does he with my questionable behavior.
~Oh, I know my place alright...and it ain't the laundry room!
*I can't even stand that the thought is out there that women do this. I wanna scream and bang someone's head against the wall when I read this. (Preferably the author of this article)
*Whaddya think?

This is like the 4th time that I have seen this article,I still think that it is crap. There are some women who still think like this. It is scary to think that people used obey this shizzle! I belong more to your school of thought! I cook when I can. I clean when I can, myself included, I don't complain I bitch, that's the only way things get done.
You should meet my mother in law. She still does most of that. I guess that's why she can't stand me.
I like to hear some other ladies that can't seem to get things done some days. Thought it was only me.
I am not like that at all. Thankfully that is not the type of woman my husband was seeking either!
I think that 50's shit is...well, shit. Disturbing shit.
My words are so profound, aren't they?

Reading that makes my head want to melt.
