Christopher Miller the life expectancy back then was a lot shorter than it is today.
@@xelx1648 If anything it may actually have been higher. Don't believe everything you hear. Processed and manufactured food did not exist back then for the most part. Neither did many additives and preservatives. Therefore both humans and dogs lived longer by eating more organically.
Why is UA-cam recommending this to me after 59 years

Not sure if clever joke or just plain stupidity.
It will come back in ten more years

The last lady 😂
"Do you think husbands should help with the weekend housework?"
"Yes, certainly all the time. But mine doesn't."
HAHAHA
Ikr 😂 that made me laugh so much lol
i can feel the pain
THE WAY SHE SAID IT SO QUICKLY
Weird this lady had no idea she would be making people 50 years later laugh with that answer
And then she looks straight into the camera 💀
Speaking as a widower I would take the time spent doing chores with the wife as an opportunity to spend more time with her. After she’s gone you’re going to miss and regret every moment you didn’t spend with her that you could have had.
I’m sorry for your loss.
Im convinced that the interviewer is just a random bloke from our time who just found a time machine and decided to create a yt channel.
Or better yet, he's a dude who actually filmed this a couple years ago and is using a black & white filter.
haha this is actually the same format as a lot of youtubers who go into the public
DARK 🤦♀️
That is the same thing the came to mind, i to think thats their timeline
DARK stranger things have happened
Reporter - “ you should give him a break he’s been working 5 days a week”
Woman - “he hasn’t gone to work in 8 years “

"This is boring, I'll get married, have a baby, then stay at home forever."
jt t the time efficiency gains from new technologies like washing machines and vacuums was short lived because people’ standards of cleanliness (and how many clothes to own) increased lol. So the amount of time spent on cleaning and stuff stays constant. If you keep expectations modest you save a lot of time. As for the other part, average beauty has increased. Fewer people suffer smallpox, goiters, nutritional deficiencies, cleft palates, fewer people smoke and tan and we have tech likes braces, tooth whitening, better skincare etc. It’s not that the upper end of attractiveness has gone up but the lower end has been greatly uplifted (what holds us back most is obesity). This is more obvious when you look at photographs and painted depictions of humans from further back. Lots of very sickly looking homely Victorians and disappointing ‘beauties’.
jt t it was just a harmless joke...
+DANGEROUS PERSON i got one. When my family went to a first time trip to my cousin's province in 1996 we came to knew a family who has literally has NO and NEVER handled a money! The father and mother had no work for a loooong time they survive a day by eating the crops,veggies, and fruit bearring trees they planted. Even without Literally money they r healthy and cheerful which made me jealous
My grandfather said "there's no such thing as men's work and women's work, just work that needs done"

Alex Williams Lmaooo I was so confused
the look on his face is like my grandads.. makes me think hat was his wife and maybe he suffers from dimentia.. :(
Where is it?
What I find most interesting is that about 80 percent of the husbands believed it was their responsibility to help with the household chores, including cooking. Why was my generation taught that men didn't pull their weight and women were left doing everything? These are random people off the street. Did my generation believe a big fat lie?
Sure seems like it.
We've been told many lies about the past!
You see, there is this thing called feminism and feminism lies to tear men down and make women think they are victims so feminism can still exist...
Men innately want to move mountains for women. You have no idea just how much negativity and bad experience it takes to break a man of that desire, but it is happening.
@@basdfef4775 Someone clearly has no experience with kids.
I always like watching these because the mannerisms of people back in the day are just ever so slightly different than they are today and it’s really interesting. For instance, many of them make direct and sustained eye contact with the interviewer and the interviewer stands far closer than he would today.
That’s interesting, I have noticed a difference before I could not quite put my finger on it. It’s like they were (in general) more sincere and serious about things. Maybe “earnest” is the word. Or frank?... More direct and straightforward in their approach to other people and life. They seem almost naïve in some ways but it was an era when trust, fair play, self discipline, “hard work pays off” were still all tried-and-true and *widely accepted* guidelines for living a good life. And it showed, even in the way they would casually interact and respond to a stranger asking a question.
@@Posark Yeah I definitely noticed that as well! My initial guess would be that it has something to do with lack of smartphones and headphones, and so they are more fully engaged in their surroundings and by extension the conversation with the interviewer. Earnest is definitely how I would describe it, like they had to take a second to think about their answer instead of firing off the first thing that came into their head.
That's a high trust homogeneous nation for you.
They were straight up to the Interviewer 's questions. I find the same type of People in outback Queensland. They speak with a similar attitude and keep eye contact and are straight to the point. I thought that this is delightful , as they remind me of my grandparents.
genuine people with good social skills with good values
"yes, certainly, all the time, but mine doesn't"
the best answer hahah

Love her sincerity 😅😅😅
I laughed so hard at that part Savage 😂😂😂 lol

The Australian accent sounded more british back then
Evan Thomas not really, sounds the same to me.
Well white “Australians” are from Europe sooo..
It actually sounds different mate. A lot different.
some of them speak with received pronunciation. There were americans and irish who spoke like that too. Especially those in broadcasting. Wealthier people were taught to speak that way in schools, and ending up sounding like posh brits.
Because they are all pome criminal descendants.

I honestly was not expecting so many men to agree with helping. What a generation 😍
My father grew up in Iowa in the 1950s. He said that while he couldn't speak for other areas, he said that culture of respect and supporting one another was commonplace for the most part. He is stunned by how selfish society has become.
'Fear is a great motivator" Lavrenti Beria at the Soviet Nuclear Programme after party, July 1949.
Because most people he asked were old and most likely retired. If he had asked the younger men working 40 plus hours a week at the office they’d probs have a different view on house work.
Men wouldn't say that in this day an age. Many of them have taken the red pill and now think they are "prizes"...they truly believe they are leonardo dicaprio, and that abusing women and cheating on them is they way to gain love and respect from women.
Women have turned into epic slags. Body count is on the rise. They disrespect themselves before any man does.
The world is in full regression.
its almost like the feminism agenda/lies is complete brainwashing so everyone assumes that's how things were.
“What does your wife do?”
“She rests.”
Comment Section: Wooow, we should all go back to the 60's.
Black People: 👀
Moses Matsepane 😂😂😂😂
Not everything was better back then. But we could use some of that calmness nowadays
There were some horrible things for black people back then, but there were things that were better too. Most black families at this time stayed together, they had a father in the home, and didn't have as many drug issues as today. If they were treated better by society as a whole it would have been a better time for them too.

What do you want me to tell you from the future ? I will give 100% correct news.
He really looks like a hit man in 007 movie
My grandpa never helped with housework, but good heavens, he cut 3 acres with a single blade riding mower, worked in the garden and tended 1.5 acres of strawberries, and repaired literally everything on their property. If he had tried to interfere in Granny's kitchen, she would have rushed him back outside to get him out from under her feet. I think all I ever saw him do in the kitchen was pour his own coffee and fill a glass with water throughout the day, and even then she would stop what she was doing and run him off. 😂😂😂
Granny isn't silly. She knows those strawberries aren't gonna tend themselves.
She was probably proud to take care of such a hard-working husband. Any woman would be. Husbands don't do all of that now and so they might as well help in the house.
@@Melissa-gn3dv always depends on your situation. ideally everyone is in a relationship where they are able to do the things they love and are good at to show their affection for the other
He's doing house work, even if it is outside the house. When I was working full time, my wife did most of the cooking and cleaning, while I maintained the outside of the house, and did the handyman repairs inside. I'd argue the work I did around the house was a lot more physical work.
@@Melissa-gn3dv and the woman's rearing fewer kids now, so they don't do all that now either, so might as well give hubby the weekend off so he can recharge because she probably ain't helping him with office work, is she?
I love how that last woman looked right at the camera after she said "but mine doesn't" like she was hoping he would be seating on the other side watching lol
“Shouldn’t he get a break after he’s been working all week?”
“No he hasn’t he hasn’t worked for 8 years”

1961: "Should men help out with the housework on weekends"
2020: "is 5 inches enough?"
K Cal they had quite high standards of morality compared to today’s.
LMAOOO 😂
@@haal6749 wouldn't really call it a 'high standard'. "Ideal" might be the better word.
Super funny 😂😂
Well back then men where out working for less than today’s minimum wage . Women should’ve took care of the house . MAKES SENSE
No husbands shouldn't "help" with the housework, they should do their parts in the household as members of the household.
You are right
right, they're basically just roommates you have a deep emotional attachment to (well, ideally)
Are you married?
This is a time piece to hear the perspective of people 60 years ago.
Shut up with your correction. This is a reporter who’s likely dead now. You’re not impressing anyone…
@@jordanmackenzie5279 they’re not making a correction, they’re literally just answering the question. The only valid complaint you could make about it is if you didn’t agree with what they said... but your weirdly defensive reply just makes me think you’re insecure, which isn’t much better tbh
As a husband, I don't know how anyone can just chill while your wife does all the housework. I just always feel the need to help out.
Because she's probably taking guilt-free naps on weekday afternoons while you slog at work.
@@kunalsen2123 😂 truer words have never been spoken....
I’d agree that he should help out only if their isn’t outside work that needs to be done or physical work that a female can’t do.
@@kunalsen2123there's no napping if you have children at home. NO NAPPING
@@scoobz4177 unless you're churning out kids your entire life, that's not a fair comparison.
Their answers surprised me.
If they asked men in Yorkshire, everyone would have said no lol. The miners weren't doing 60 hours underground then doing house work :@
Bet the interview er was gutted with the answers
Pigeon 420 I was about to write the exact same thing before i saw your comment... lovin that birb thumbnail tho
That’s because the public is brainwashed with BS and propaganda , the answers were not a surprise to me.
Women became freer during the ww1 when they had to do men's work when the men were out fighting. They got the rights to vote in 1920, we're talking about the 1960's things have changed drastically after ww 1 and 2. So it's not really that much of a suprise.
Lol, the woman at the end. “Yes, certainly, all the time, but mine doesn’t” *looks into the camera like she’s in the office*
Now that is something isn't it
I came here to say this but in my heart I knew, it had already been said.
I think she’s Todd Howard’s great grandma
The exception proves the rule. Good thinking.
if only she added ".....n maybe thats the real tragedy.....whatever" ...then bit her bottom lip
A lot of these people were born in the 1800s. The majority of them said that men should help. It really brings the light the fact that the current narrative that "men were always domineering and selfish while women worked tirelessly to serve men, and only feminism changed that dynamic'" is extremely incorrect.
I love the eye contact, VERY rare these days and you can just see the humanity in people
I constantly need to remind myself that these people did infact see each other in colour and not black and white 🤭
Edit:its a joke, for all the wise guys who didn't pick that up.
I know right!!
Yeah I once asked my mom if they only saw black and white in the past 😂
but are you sure?
But we'll never truly know tho..
Thats sounds so stupid i hope no older people read this...
People were so articulate... and seemed genuine
Its a combination of an accent and being educated.
👍
Many forces have served to dumb us down over the years.
People are still genuine the situations are just becoming increasingly unnatural and personalities follow suit
Everyone is white and no one has a media addiction
These men are so reasonable, considerate and so wise, they actually think it’s healthy and normal to help with house work. I’m sure this is why marriages worked so well back then compared to this era.
To be fair, the women were raising more kids on an average and domestic chores weren't as automatic as now, so I'm guessing the housework (beyond rearing) would have been neglected unless he stepped up. Housewives now have it easier while men's situations haven't really changed that much even without automation. So, the situation's different as are the attitudes.
People were so much more pleasant and friendly then
I like how the reporter has no concept of personal space, and everyone he interviews keeps backing up. 😆
Maybe I'm wrong but it seems like he just darted in on some of them without asking.
He certainly has an odd manor about him, even in other clips
Talking to strangers and inviting conversation was allowed and common no more than 15 years ago.
Cry about your personal space when society collapses because no one communicates in person and nothing gets done or fixed because its "offensive" or "racist"
Dont live in a city either.
I dont see anyone backing up either. Its hard to hear on a busy street so if anything they were getting closer. Do you have any form of logic or consideration, or you just want to pick apart anything and find indifference with the most insignificant, minor things?
@@flynnlivescmd yes Flynn, you're right! Those millenians with their phones and their apps and their personal spaces - the next thing you'll tell me is that native Americans deserve their own space or something - what are you saying? Is this starting to get off topic?
it's fun how most of the guys say yes and the women say no. Looks like back in the day women and men had each each other's back.
Literally none of the Ladies in this video said no, except for one.
Alex Spadge I get a feeling they're trying to fit some role or fit in to what they believe they should say, while the men are just being brutally honest. My grandmother was the same way where she'd say things that were socially acceptable back then, yet say the opposite once around close family. She wouldn't even talk about certain things in front of friends. That's how it was back then. Women tried to fit in to social standards so drastically.
Pretty much everyone in the video said yes
@@user-io1mj9ex8l feminism has been here for a very long time. What has come is a huge wave of stupidity as a result of luxuries and privileges.
In australia maybe lol
This was a delightful surprise from my recommendations
I came back to visit this video after 3 years. This is the reason people of that era stayed married till death did them part for real.
Reporter: “ Your husband is probably tired from working all day.” Lady: “No he isn’t, , he hasn’t worked for 8 years.” 😂😂
"cause he dead..."

@Commentary Commentary 🤣
Bro do teen exist? It's like you go baby, child, adult then grandparent
Young people weren't invented until 1980

Back in those times kids knew where they stood adults only got these privileges. Children absolutely not. If you told a child to be quite and stay out of the way they would do so immediately. Different times now. Now kids are in control.
adamd664 oof... that is true
No Username unfortunately man i wonder what the simple times would have been like.
I can honestly say that after 40 years of married life I have done everything around the house that my wife does, except for: giving birth, nursing babies and using a sewing machine. That's likely because I came from a military family with five kids, where there was no such thing was "women's work". Ya did whatcha hadda do!
People look cheerful and upbeat. Dunno if it's because of the TV crew or they just took things more easily back then.
My theory. People dont waste their dopamine on mobile games and stuff like that, so they get more excited talking to irl people than we do nowdays.
It depends on the culture from where you live, there are plenty of places in the world where people are cheerful when you talk to them. Though I do believe that that is becoming harder to find as time goes on.
Actually that's a very nice observation, well done, I wonder about that myself now too.
Touch grass and you will understand
My grandpa grew up in a super traditional southern baptist home. You'd never see him just laying around on the weekends. He was always cooking and doing housework on the weekends. He took care of my grandmother until his death, even when she could do hardly anything for herself. Men from that generation were traditional about some things but much more principled in other ways.
If only dudes and chicks were traditional today.
why is this the sweetest thing ever
My grandfather was Southern. He never cooked but he did lots of other things outside of the house. They had a farm.

Is it just me or was the everyday life back then like a movie? I mean the people speak, look, the mimic, everythings so perfect.
There were definitely things back then that we're tough and horrible to deal with. However when people share one language and have a unifying culture it's easier to get along with each other.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
My dad was a police lieutenant who also did side handyman jobs sometimes on the weekend to help make ends meet and he always participated in caring for the home when he was home. My stepmom never took out the trash for instance...never even had to ask. He took initiative and did it. She preferred doing all the cooking and most of the light cleaning, but he did heavy cleanings and the repairs and yard were taken care of asap. Especially to note, he didn't spend his down time adding to the mess. Dirty clothes went to the hamper, dishes to the sink, and if he was the only one who had eaten, he washed them;he didn't leave them for someone else! He helped make the beds after sheets been washed cus it was a king-sized bed and more efficient for two to work together to get it done. He modeled real manhood and leadership...he never thought any work beneath him.
It sounds like the woman did nothing really.
It's so refreshing to watch this video
I love how considerate the people in the clip sound.They realise marriage is all about helping and assisting each other for the best.
Why is the husband always expected to help , what about the wife help the husband? Ask the question the other way around. Should wives help their husbands do their chores?
I bet you will hostile responses.
@So Who's the Dummy Now? And imagine having 4 or 5 kids and doing the laundry for all of those by hand or with a very cumbersome proto-washing machine - that alone would have me occupied for most of the day, let alone all the other chores on top of that
I'm enjoying the irony all the husbands in this video, 60 years ago, being very pleasant and accommodating, compared to the men in the comments here whining about how much they hate women, feminists etc.
Feels like we've regressed as a society in some ways.
I feel like if you asked people in the streets these days most people would be kind, considerate and good humored
@@danielmann5427 Why get into a relationship or marriage if you're not helping each other and being a team? That just sounds something that an unfit couple would say
The reality of men in those days is much different then the way they are now portrayed.
So true. My grandpa (married in the early 1930's) was a mechanic at work, a farmer at home & he did dishes, vacuumed, mended and even embroidered.
So true.
Don't know if you have noticed but the big agenda is to brake the family down.
I just shared this video on my facebook because I have a lot of anti straight men people on my facebook who think men are good for nothing and I thought id give them a bit of perspective.
My grandpa beat my grandma and my dad and his siblings senseless.
The first guy.... No words for the amount of respect I have for him. 👏🏻👏🏻
Man, people used to be so damned decent. Almost like they respected each other and saw each other as partners and thought of each other before themselves.
Because back then they still followed the morals of Christianity. Now God is dead for most of the people.

Damn- it’s like looking out for each other builds love or something.
I think we are all surprised that they said they should help with the chores. My dad never helped my mom. The shocking thing is that right now men have to work, and women have to 1. work 2. take care of children 3. Clean the house 4. Do shopping, etc. At least in Poland it is still like that, but younger generation is starting to notice that it is not fair. My boyfriend always helps me, but I still have to ask him to do something.

How do the 90s look time traveling reporter?
Well the Soviet Union collapsed in on itself and the US never had to fire a shot.
That sounds rather anticlimactic. What about America? How is it fairing not having an enemy to avoid fighting?
Well all the wives are working because of a thing called the feminist movement.
All that extra income sounds nice. How has that improved the quality of life?
Well they’re spending all that extra income on children’s toys they call Bernie Babies.
Well I suppose that’s practice if they’re having as many children to raise as we are.
They’re not having many kids. In fact, they’re relying on mass immigration from countries where the women can barely even read to maintain the population.
Well it’s nice to help out others around the world I suppose. Are they working well in the factories to maintain America’s standing as a manufacturing superpower?
No they’re just getting welfare, all the factories are moving to Mexico and China.
That reminds me of the downfall of Rome. What is our generation doing to combat this problem?
Oh our generation is focused on mastering a dance craze called the Macaroni.

Wow. They seem like decent people who think before they talk. No agression in their words
thinking before talking is a privilege we no longer have , one would have to be able to think before they opened there mc donalds holes
2 world wars in 3 decades, colonization, no aggression

I love these interviews!
I don't know where to write this but... Few years ago UA-cam's seemingly entire comment section was filled with toxicity to no end, it was bad, negative, and people liked it and joined each other in belittling others, I wanted to quit watching videos and looking at comments because of that. Nowadays, there isn't a single comment section that doesn't make me laugh like a kid or feel wholesome by someone. Something's changed so much, I'm soooo happy to see this change... ❤️❤️
Can’t believe the world was black and white back then, really glad scientists invented color
Very old joke.
BadMannerKorea and unoriginal
Doesnt make it any less funny 🤷
Ares XCVIII it actually does because we have all heard it countless times. It’s the same thing as eating the same bland thing makes you want to kill someone
Well just like humor, taste is subjective so you are wrong my friend :)
3:46 I love how this lady looked down at the microphone and said “oh no”
And then stared at it awkwardly
Haha 🤣
Just got to that bit as I read this! 😂
She's having bj flashbacks with her husband
Dettmaster 1512 BRUUHHH!
Not me being in love with the interviewer😂 I love seeing these interviews, they are great historical artifacts that you can watch for many decades.
It seems like people back in the day, somehow was more advanced than we should be today...
"Oh, for sure"
"That's for sure"
"Are you for sure?"
"That's for sure, yes"
Do you concur, doctor?
That’s the idea
"Oh certainly sure"
Impeccable dialogue
Mark Stevic but are they sure?
The older generation understood that by helping on the weekends shows that they love and respect their wives.....it makes the wife feel appreciated and cared for, not just financially, but also emotionally.
Edit: Hate to inform you all but I do not work outside the home, I do ALL the laundry, ALL the cooking, do ALL the purchasing, drive my three kids to ALL their school related events and after school scout meetings and music lessons and doctor appointments, help out with fund raising and planning events related to what my kids are involved in, I coordinate things (doctor appointments and big home repairs) for my husband, I dust, vacuum, sweep, clean, organize our home, deal with the virtual learning that's going on right now. I maybe get five hours of sleep on a good day, and I gotta say when my husband randomly grabs out the vacuum and does it I love him even more because what he just did for me was say "thank you for ALL that you do for me and the kids" with an act of service. Has nothing to do with division of labor in my home, it has to do with love languages and a spouse recognizing that sometimes the other person could use and appreciate an act of kindness. I never mentioned gender roles, I wasn't commenting about gender roles at all.
You're partly right but maybe it's more that the "older men" in the footage were most likely retired and so had more time than the younger ones to help out at home...
luckily now house prices are so ridiculously high that we can all share the house work/ full time jobs/children etc equally and work ourselves in to an early grave ... now that's progress 🙄🤭
Edit.... "hate to inform you all but....." then goes on to give total strangers every detail about her life! 😅🤣
You do realise its not all about you, I think people were giving their opinion on the video 🤦
@@bertiewhistlepipe3715 Price of living so high that it is impossible to have gender roles
@@testacals im hearing ya sister 🤜🤛 equality all the way
What if the men work hard and the wife does not work, I think the man should helf if he wants to
@@testacals gender roles are needed
Another thing I've noticed is that older people seemed to enjoy doing something all the time. Like they were always working on something.
Everyone seems so much more respectful and proper.
Tech has ruined mankind
They was social media has ruined earth
I kept seeing the most noticeable change in social behavior in the transitioning from 98', 99' to the 2000s. I was over in the states as an exchange student for a semester back then and I witnessed the release of MTV's "Jackass" - boy did it feel wrong to watch people giving two homeless guys money so they eould punch each other in the face for pure entertainment!
I was disgusted for real!
Sadly that show and similar other shows became widely popular and so did socially acceptable bullying and violence!
I watched it first hand happening around me in my early twenties and could not grasp what was happening...
I believe media had a HUGE impact on the young generations...
And when loserkids suddenly could be famous for doing stupid things on camers, up was down and right was left...
@@deathbystereo- right hence why you are on it
Yes until a gay person or black person walks past, then the respectful I am sure would e extended, this gold tinted perception of the past is so shirt sighted
*Creeps up behind old man with microphone*
"Do you think husbands should help out with weekend housework?"
😂😂
Lmao
Lolol and that last woman, looking like the microphone was about to assault her not to mention that lady in the middle looking like she was about to be raped by the reporter lol maybe he was standing too close lol, but he caught a lot of uncomfortable people on this day lol
They all shot off answers right away tho lol.
1:33 hobbies: people watching.
Anyone else notice how their personal space looks much smaller than it is today? That is so cool. I love how they can look at each other that closely and it's not weird, nor do they feel uncomfortable.
Part of that is because of the aspect ratio of films back then. When you gotta fit two people into 4:3 they stand closer together.
@@deargreenplaces I see what you mean about the 4:3 ratio. Still, it seems to me that their comfort level is high being that close. The camera could easily zoom out a bit too.
@@deargreenplacesI have watched many old interviews and they definitely did stand closer to each other in general.
Also you: "We need safe spaces", "You're entering my private space", "Creepy."
I love the way it's phrased "help". If you live in the home and you're capable to keep up the home, you're not helping anyone, You're simply keeping your own home clean, like an adult
“Have you been married long?”
“Yeeeeeees a good many years”
Yeaah....
LOL...but then didn't her husband say that his wife was dead?🤣
@@2hedz77 he had dementia i think she knew
@@2hedz77 Maybe that lady was his 2nd wife? 🤷♀️
"Are you married?"
"I am"
"Does your husband go to work?"
"Oh yes"
"And you?"
"Yes"
"Oh you both go to work!?"
*disappointed reporter noises*
Ok millenial.
Timestamp?
@@doctor4961 2:21
I don't think he was disappointed, I think he just wasn't expecting that one haha.
@@obviously1871 thanks
I absolutely love these videos!
Watching this, I understood that old English just as gorgeous and calming as soviet Russian. I don’t know how, but people of that time speak reasonably, calmly, they have structure of thoughts and literally no unnecessary words or sounds, just like TV or radio announcers. And quite often they give clever and humanistic opinions, more clever and more humanistic than the next generations.
Who's here after the interview _"Do you think there is life in other planets?"_
Me
Francis Niño Mindaña Me.... And no regrets. I didn't expect such great answers and reactions. Most people back then seemed so emotionally stable and unbiased... Makes me feel i was born in the wrong era.

Who cares?
“He’s be working all week!”
“No he hasn’t, he’s not worked for 8 years!”
RE " can't you see in my face?" LMAO!!
My dad and grandpa didn't do housework. They were dog tired when they got home and had a hot meal waiting, but they fixed the appliances, cars, etc. and took care of things outside. They only got in the way in the kitchen.
So many peoples great grandparents are in this video and they have no idea
mini m&m some peoples parents where probably born
My great grandparents are still alive
My great grandmother is only 74
rider how😅
They had *
Imagine how bizarre it would be if the reporter at the end said pls subscribe and hit that notification bell in that old timey voice
EPIC 😂😂
I hope the man that said "she rests" gets/has the deluxe package in heaven. God bless him!
Everyone so honest, welcoming, immaculately dressed. Can we go back?
besides the racism yeah this time period looked awesome
@@theblueprint2001not everybody was racist stupid. Way to generalize. You think people aren’t racist today?
All the older and married ones are like "yes help your wife with housework" the young guys looked like they got asked if they liked a girl XD omg that one woman with four daughters "no he keeps out of my way" XD
Maybe the older guys are retired, maybe working 40 hours a week at little hobby jobs and the young guys are working 70 hour work weeks. I hardly ever help my wife do housework but at the same time she says I work to much so everyone is different.
Hard to believe she might’ve been in her 30-40 there, now she would be 85-95
If he's out of her way, he can't be adding any more girls to the family dynamics. 🤣
@@zanderness they works al those days so hard and earn money and have vacations but womans works at the house everyday for free and never stops and the lazy husband is so tired to help at weekends but she can’t take days off of housework, its unfair not help womans with housework when you can even if she tells you its ok she will aprecciate your help men are husbands not other kid that womans have to take care all the time. So stop saying MAYBE he works more hours because you dont know, and you are saying that housework its easy and its not, isnt as hard as men work but is hard too and never stops.
@@karenndvs You say they do it for free, when some families back then the man handed her most to all his salary, and he got what he needed for the period. Granted at that point she also handled the bills, food and misc, but it was hardly for "free"
