I kind of like the idea of it as a retirement option. LOL
Shoot.. no working outside the home, staying at home to cook (which I love) and cleaning with all the modern convieniences, plus having a computer to play on all day, a tv to watch, music at will.. and sex if he can still get it up.
Yep.. thats my idea of retirement.
Which.. is SO unlikely to be in my future!
Heh.. I will work until I keel over. And hopefully keel over doing something fun.

This is the crux of my attraction to it. I have choices through a career which allow me the freedom to choose to making the house, cooking and keeping him satisfied my focus. If I had few other options, such as the women who actually lived through the 50s, then I doubt I would enjoy it quite so much.
Ahh the dream......chances are i agree no working away from home but 'piece work' taken in to earn 'pin money'.....making the house was likely unpicking woolens and re-knitting, saving every button taken off previous clothes...in a button tin, expertise in everything from crotchet to button-holing to invisible darning, no non-stick pans, only seasonal food and washing up by hand.....copper polish, silver polish and beating mats over the garden line. Keeping him well-fed and not moaning about the Brylcream on his pillow cases or his snoring from a high fat diet or early heart attack from untipped cigarettes. No computer and limited television coverage. No raised consciousness, fish on Fridays and washing dry on a dry day only........Evanol hair dye, spit in your mascara and Amami hair setting lotion....carbolic soap or Fairy Green, pig bins and an outside lavatory......ahh nostalgia and the good life (not).
