Women were supposed to treat men like this in 1955

It's very interesting to learn over and over again how some customs of the past actually, even though in years far away from 2018, they are in very rough context. However, there are even those habits for which you can blink your eyes and say by yourself; “really seemed perfectly normal then? ”

In 1955, a monthly magazine called “Husekeeping” (or, holding a house) published a guide to how domestic women should act on such a menu to meet good women for their mates and good mothers for their children.

“Below you find them listed, notice how many of them you see yourself included today!

1. Dinner should always be ready. You have to plan this last night before so that the moment the man comes home he finds dinner. Prepared for the meal in advance shows your mate that you are careful and always have in mind to please your husband.
2. Cook his favorite plate. When men come home, in most cases because of commitment to work, they come truly hungry. That means not only that dinner should be carefully prepared and laid on the table, but it should be good and abundant even in content. Cooking your husband's favorite dishes is necessary to make that possible.
3. Adjust your appearance before your husband comes home. Get ready. Take 15 minutes to get some sleep so you can be fresh when he gets home. Put some make-up and possibly put a ribbon on your hair. He's tired of watching people in work clothes during the day, so he needs to calm his eyes with a more childlike view of you!
4. Be funny and interesting about that. Remember, your spouse's day may have been really boring, and it is your job to lift his mood at such times.
5. Fix any possible mess. Make a general passage around your home before it arrives, and make sure that everything is in the right place.
6. In the cold months, make sure you light a fire and create a warm environment before your husband comes home. This will make him feel good and reward you with compliments. You'll feel very good yourself.
7. Get the kids ready. Wash the hands and faces of your children, or the whole body if necessary. Also, constantly change their clothes.
8. When your husband comes home, make sure the kids behave properly. They need to minimize noises as well as you have to take care to eliminate other noises that could come from washing, vacuuming, or similar items.
9. Be happy to see your mate enter the door. Welcome a warm smile, and show that you want to make it feel good. And remember to listen carefully.
10. You may have 100 things to say, but as soon as he's home, it's not the right time to do this. Wait for him to speak first and remember that the topics of discussion he opens are more important than yours.
11. Give your husband a quiet evening. Don't complain if he comes home late or chooses to leave without taking you with him. Instead, try to understand his world and the need he needs to have a peaceful home environment.
12. Fix the pillow where he's gonna lie and offer to take off his shoes. Speak quietly using a sweet intonation.
13. Don't ask any more or oppose your husband's decisions. Remember that he is the pillar of the house and has the right to decide.
14. When he is ready to lie down, offer him a warm drink.
15. A good woman knows her whole country...
