-------------------------------------------

 

Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for his return. This is a way of letting him know that you have be thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.

 

Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll 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 for him. His boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.

 

Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.

 

During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for him to unwind by. Your husband will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.

 

Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum. Encourage the children to be quiet.

 

Be happy to see him.

 

Greet him with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please him.

 

Listen to him. You may have a dozen important things to tell him, but the moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first - remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.

 

Don't greet him with complaints and problems.

 

Don't complain if he's late for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through at work.

 

Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or lie him 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, soothing and pleasant voice.

 

Don't ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will always exercise his will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question him.

 

A good wife always knows her place.

It was pretty lame, even back then...

 

but there is no doubt that the loss of most mothers from the home to the work force has had a very detrimental effect upon society.

When I was a kid (born in 1950) if there was any kind of trouble, ANY kid could run to ANY house, and be 90% assured that he would find a Mom home, and that she would immediately rectify the problem. On my block, in 1955, there were over forty children. EVERY HOME BUT THREE OR FOUR had a stay-at-home Mom. ONE of the children on our block, a girl named Charlene, had divorced parents.

 

That same block (in Houston's notorious "South Park" neighborhood) is now filled with abandoned houses, houses that are half burned down, gangs, dope dealers, abandoned cars and so on. It's sad to see.

 

This image^^^ is flawed, but we were closer to it then, by far, than we are now. The '50s were by no means perfect. But in terms of children's lives, we were a hell of a lot better off when Moms stayed home and raised their kids. And Dads tried to meet their responsibilities as husbands and fathers and to lead their families. The situation we are in now just looks like wide-spread irresponsibility and selfishness and misbehavior on the part of parents. Many parents (regardless of age) seem to be behaving like irresponsible adolescents, to me.
