The good wife's guide
1. 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 been thinking about him and are concerned about his needs. Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospect of a good meal(especially his favourite dish) is part of the warm welcome needed.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your husband arrives.
5. Gather up schoolbooks, toys, paper etc and then run a dustcloth over the tables.
6. Over 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 for his comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
7. 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. Minimize all noise. At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet.
8. Be happy to see him.
9. Greet him with a warm smile and shoe sincerity in your desire to please him.
10. 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.
11. Make the evening his. Never complain if he comes home late or goes out to dinner, or other places of entertainment without you. Instead, try to understand his world of strain and pressure and his very real need to be at home and relax.
12. Your goal: Try to make sure your homeis a place of peace, order and tranquility where your husband can renew himself in body and spirit.
13. Dont greet him with complaints and problems.
14. Dont complain if he's late home for dinner or even if he stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what he might have gone through that day.
15. Make him comfortable. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or have him lie down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
16. Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
17. Dont ask him questions about his actions or question his judgment or integrity. Remember, he is the master of the house and as such will alwaysexercise his will with fairness and truthfullness. You have no right to question him.
18. A good wife always knows her place.
Can you post a link to this? Thanks.
Status: Undetermined.
Thanks
back then, 1955 she probably did. Pleasant would be a better word. My how our worlds have changed since 1955.
lol, I have an oven just like the one in the pic.
Wow! Times have changed. I feel like I am going to get hit with a frying pan, listen to a lecture on the evils of degrading and objectifying women, sleep on the couch for a month and then be told how pathetic men just for reading this. LOL.
If you really want a woman like that I think you had better go to the Philippines, Indonesia, Russia etc. and be willing to live there. ;-)
Yeah, if you bring em back here you will have worse than if you married a gal here.
My dream woman is a deaf and dumb nymphomainiac that owns a liquor store!!!
1. Don't bitch the moment he enters the room. Let him open his beer first
2. Place Stouffer's entree in oven 15 minutes before he usually gets home
3. Send the kids to your mother's
4. Sit on sofa naked"
ROTFLMAO!!!
Your reply was better than that first cup of coffee in the morning. Thanks!
You mean women still do not act this way? Could explain the high divorce rate.
Yep, isn't it funny how the MSM goes out of its way to highlight/celebrate ethnic, sexual & cultural diversity, but works hard to promote NO DIVERSITY in gender roles.
"The Guide" is the MSM's worst nightmare....hey, maybe we can start a revolution...a return to classic gender roles that worked for thousands of years (oh yeah, Hillary will let that happen).
I have been pleasantly surprised by the postings on the thread! Thought for sure this thread would be great Troll bait, but some (not all) of the ladies claim to do a higher percentage of "The Guide" that I ever thought.
I'm still trying to get their phone number! ;)
No problem!!
Status of the LIST is undetermined, but the alleged document for this posting of the list is a confirmed fake.
Bye.
Charlie, will you show in the next broad please?

You thought I was auditioning for you? HA! Honey, I don't give a rip about your dishes in your sink. Good luck finding someone who does! Until then, I recommend the paper.
See folks. I knew it. She loves me. Already.
