I love this kind of stuff, i am into the 1940s ww11 British, but anything vintage. In the early 70s I remember being pulled from my desk in first grade and was given a good swat, I don't recall what i did, just that i was embarrassed by it. To be a 50s house wife to me would have to have been busier than today, as they had to do it all with not a lot of help from any conveniences we have today, I'm pretty poor so i may understand better than a person "spoiled" with todays technology lol. Love your vids
2:17 ...best and most important advice - organize and plan for storage FROM THE BEGINNING. No one taught me this, and I bounced through homes as a child, so I never witnessed it. I learned this the hard way and am recovering from over a decade of disorganization and confusion. Proudly self taught and eager to save anyone from what I put myself and my family through.
I love mid century modern mommy! Another blog/community I thoroughly recommend is Retro housewife goes green - same ideas/vibe with loads of tips, advice and recipes! I started following both a few years back and I'm so surprised one has cropped up in a recommended video 😁
I really enjoyed this video. As a mom, I agree that the 1950s parenting was better than now. There were boundaries. They weren't negotiable. My parents were a product of the generation who raised their children. It was different. More structured then now.
1950 ‘s housewives had well dusted furniture clean windows clean curtains cooking well set tables desserts and flower beds and of course dishes laundry floors when the housewife started working out side the home these areas got forgotten no time left or energy first the windows flower beds dusting dessert setting the table cleaning floors cooking laundry probably in that order
Everyone's parents did not become lax. My mother worked part time in the late sixties and into the seventies (she we t full time in 1974) and that meant household tasks had to go by TBE wayside. My father was emphatic that our job, meaning my siblings and I, was to do school work and get good grades. But we did not get away with much.
Sometimes, I think it would be better to go back to the family unit. Dad goes to work, and Mom manages the home. It seemed like people were happier. I know my Mom was at home and managed everything. My Dad did not tell her how to run it. It worked like clock work. Children were well taught by both parents. The children today are unbelievable at home and in public. But, I have to say it is up to the parents to train their children the correct way.
People weren’t happier. That’s why they rebelled against it. If they were happier they would have stayed doing it. People often pretended to be happy while dying inside.
I remember the lists...those darn lists drove us crazy...now i wish i had learned what they were really teaching ..i remember the last thing you wanted was to be yelled at by a neighbor...it always meant another yelling from your parents...the last thing my mother always did before my father came in frome work was to put on lipstick & Jean Nate'
Cute video - I loved it ! : ) My favorite color to this day is Light Pink or Dusty Rose ''but'' I don't think I could 'put that' on my husband [ie] having Pink appliances etc ! [cute/sweet/light/calm but cheery lol] I live this way [85% of it] & agree with all of it 'except' I don't change my clothes that many times per day ! : ) I have subbed : ) I'm more of an introvert but def. help bake, donate etc whenever asked & thoroughly enjoy baking for neighbors. Thank-you for your time & creativity in making this ... I'm looking forward to seeing more of your videos : ) Hope you're having a Nice Weekend & before you know it, you'll be at 1,000 Subs ! : ) Take Care, Cindy : )
*awww, you are too kind. i kid my Hubz all the time that i'm gonna have an all-pink She-Shed built out back, Lol!!! i will def have more videos like this coming soon. i hope that you had a swell weekend & wish you a wonderful week. thanx a bunch for your support...Tootles!!!* :🥰
@@RMFeminine4TheWin was thinking if he’s not in there a lot and even if he is he may not mind you’re appliances being pink. Husbands really often don’t care about decor much at all either way.
As long as I can make $200K per year doing the job described in this video, I'm in. (I'm not joking. I would love to full-time do the things portrayed here, but I will not do it via becoming economically dependent on another human...that's too risky.)
If you read a swedish Household book for housewife - you would laugh. My mother was housekeeper in first year of the fiftees and later half housewife. It inhered all her Brooks But also bought more myself. It seems to differe in same aspekts But how much clearing g it was, every week take out carpet and dust them. Scrubbng floor many times in a week. Very little about looks and appeatence. Maybe that is more an amerikan thing. About kids more about upbringing and how to take care of them if they got sick. Interesting to see and hear about the difference.
*thanx ever so for your comment. it so happens that i am practicing 'Swedish Death Cleaning' and it is a revelation!!! having family in nursing home i can appreciate not leaving tons of things behind for loved ones to sort through.* 🏡🧹💨📦🗑🥰
I just got an original edition of Betty Crocker recipe book from 1950 and there are tips on everything you mentioned in this video! “Greet your husband gayly at the door” and my favorite “make sure to observe interesting or funny things throughout your day so you can converse with your husband about them over dinner” and there is a drawing of a housewife pointing to a cat stuck in a tree laughing hysterically 😂
While quite a bit of this sounds like "How to be a 'Stepford Wife' in 7 Easy Steps", I do agree with how the kids were raised & being 'Gen X', this is how we were raised & I miss it.
Wonderful Dialog & info!!...but please don't repeat pics ..I know it will be harder to make videos...but so uninteresting to watch same thing over & over...& I personally wouldn't include any Lookalike modern pics...they lack the Charm & Dignity of the 1950s Ladies & aren't interesting particularly at all. 💕💅🏻
I am very interested in this topic. However the INSTITUTIONAL & personal _abuse, neglect, & CSA_ that went on in the 50s is nothing that decent humans should seek to recreate. Vile. Take it from a former-child AND a good, decent Mother .
@@ADashnawMKIBC You are incorrect. I was alive then. It happened all the time, but was swept under the carpet. It is much better today, when people can end unhealthy relationships that hurt them and their children.
Maybe it would be better to say...putting your faithful, loyal, hardworking and loving husband ahead of the children you both have, is the proper thing to do. At least, it USED to be that way. We lost that perspective, and today's messed up society is what we got for our rebellion!😬😪
@@Patricia-dd6ss I do appreciate that you put high criteria in your description of a husband. Perhaps it is the lack of such things that has messed up society, no? I am much older than other people watching this video. I had a good father in my life and he was a good and loving husband to my mom. But I had many friends and classmates who were not so fortunate. I am thankful that divorce became an option for the wives and mothers in those families; prior to that, they and their children suffered immensely.
@@joannebutlerster Well...I DID say that's how it USED to be. Maybe as it was during the early part of the 20th Century...before our generation was born?

I was raised in the sixties and seventies and boundaries were also not negotiable.
Wish I was living in the 50's.
I don’t. It was not a good time. White men had it made

It is very difficult to work full time and to keep a spotless house.

Does your husband spend a lot of time in the kitchen?
@@ultravioletpisces3666 *he does...not as much as me tho* 😃

EWW. My mom was a 50's housewife, and this doesn't apply to her.
Maybe not anymore. Most likely because her kids are grown.
Women in the 50s DID NOT wear dresses, full makeup, and heels.
Many did. I'm 73 and remember them dressing up to food shop, dresses and flats, light makeup at home.
I am very interested in this topic.
However the INSTITUTIONAL & personal _abuse, neglect, & CSA_ that went on in the 50s is nothing that decent humans should seek to recreate.
Vile.
Take it from a former-child AND a good, decent Mother .
That stuff happened alot less than it does now.
@@ADashnawMKIBC
I do not think that's true.
@redwoodrebelgirl3010 well it is true. Sorry to burst any bubble you have.
Exactly.

Marie Kondo said that in 2011. Since then she has married and had children. She went back on everything she said. 😂
Puttihg marriage ahead of children is absolutely wrong.
