I found this jpeg of a 1955 “Good Wife’s Guide” on Larkfarm a little while ago but was going to write a parody of it before I mentioned it. Now I think perhaps a parody just wouldn’t be right. It’s already a parody by itself. At any rate, it made me laugh incredibly hard. My favorite bit was “Let him talk first — remember, his topics of conversation are more important than yours.” Now look, I’m laughing again. Hee hee hee. Yes, I should be appalled and horrified, but I am just too overwhelmed with disbelief, so it’s all amusing to me instead. There are some items that would be very nice to do for my husband. I wonder if I would have the energy to do them if I was running after two kids all day instead of developing software.
