Economics: 1950s vs. 1990s . .
.
The following is from
an actual 1950s 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.
3. Clear away clutter. Make one
last trip through the main part of the house just
before your husband arrives, gathering up school
books, 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 be 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.
------------------------------------------------
And now, the updated version for the 90s
woman:
1. Have dinner ready. Make
reservations ahead of time. If your day
becomes too hectic, just leave him a voice mail
message regarding where you'd like to eat and at
what time. This lets him know that your day
has been crappy and gives him an opportunity to
change your mood.
2. Prepare yourself. A quick stop
at the "LANCOME" counter on your way
home will do wonders for your outlook and will
keep you from becoming irritated every time he
opens his mouth. (Don't forget to use his
credit card!)
3. Clear away the clutter. Call
the housekeeper and tell her that any
miscellaneous items left on the floor by the
children can be placed in the Goodwill box in the
garage.
4. Prepare the children. Send the
children to their rooms to watch television or
play Nintendo. After all, both of them are
from his previous marriages.
5. Minimize the noise: If you happen to
be home when he arrives, be in the bathroom with
the door locked.
6. Some DON'TS: Don't greet him with
problems and complaints. Let him speak
first, and then your complaints will get more
attention and remain fresh in his mind throughout
dinner. Don't complain if he's late for
dinner, simply remind him that the leftovers are
in the fridge and you left the dishes for him to
do.
7. Make him comfortable: Tell him where
he can find a blanket if he's cold. This
will really show you care.
8. Listen to him: But don't ever let him
get the last word.
9. Make the evening his: Never complain
if he does not take you out to dinner or other
places of entertainment; go with a friend or go
shopping (use his credit card). Familiarize
him with the phrase "Girls' Night Out!"
10. The Goal: Try to keep things
amicable without reminding him that he only
thinks the world revolves around him.
Obviously he's wrong, it revolves around you.
Beware
of these Scams to Abduct Women!
This message that has
been circulated among some friends is posted in
the interests of safety. Be cautious.
Recently on Inside Edition
there was an article about several new scams
to abduct women. In one, a man comes up to
a woman in a Mall or Shopping Center and
asks if she likes Pizza. When she says she
does, he offers her $100.00 to shoot a
commercial for Pizza, but they need to go
outside where the lighting is better.
When the woman goes out of the mall she is
abducted and assaulted.
Another ploy is a very nicely
dressed man asks a woman if she would be in
a Public Service announcement to discourage drug
use. The man explains that they don't
want professional actors or celebrities, they
want the average mother to do this. Once
she leaves the mall she is a victim.
The third ploy, and the most
successful, a very frantic man comes running
in and asks a woman to please help him, his baby
is not breathing. She runs out of the
mall following him and also becomes a victim.
These have been happening in well
lit parking areas, in daylight as well as
night time, all over the country. The abductor
usually uses a van to abduct the woman.
Inside Edition set up a test in a Mall and
10 out of 15 women went out of the Mall on
the Pizza and the PSA scam. And all of them
went out of the Mall on baby scam.
Please pass this along to your friends and
family as now that it has been shown on
nationwide TV there are bound to be copy
cats of this. The third one, I think, is the
scariest. You might resist pizza or
becoming a commercial celebrity...but who would
be able to resist a frantic father asking
for help for his child? I'm sure that one would
get me.
I was going to send this to the
ladies only, but guys, if you love your
mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, etc., you may
want to pass it on to them too. Send
this to any woman you know that may need to be
reminded that the world we live in has a
lot of crazies in it....better safe than sorry........
A woman was shopping at the Tuttle Mall
in Columbus. She came out to her car and
saw she had a flat. She got her jack, spare out
of the trunk. A man in a business
suit came up and started to help her. When the
tire had been replaced, he asked for a ride
to his car on the opposite side of the Mall.
Feeling uncomfortable about doing this, she
stalled for a while, but he kept pressing
her. She finally asked why he was on this side of
the Mall if his car was on the other. He
claimed he had been talking to friends. Still
uncomfortable, she told him that she had just
remembered something she had forgotten to
pick up at the mall and she left him and went
back inside the mall. She reported
the incident to the mall security and they went
out to her car. The man was nowhere in
sight. Opening her trunk, she discovered a
brief case the man had set inside her trunk while
helping her with the tire. Inside were rope
and a butcher knife. And, when she took the tire
to be fixed, the mechanic informed her that
there was nothing wrong with her tire, that it
was flat because the air had been let out of it.
PLEASE BE SAFE AND NOT SORRY!
JUST A WARNING TO ALWAYS BE ALERT AND KEEP
YOUR HEAD!!! Never let your guard down.
THAT FEELING IN YOUR GUT MAY BE THE VOICE OF GOD.
