This is Priceless! Enjoy.

Boy What a difference 40+ years makes.

The following is from a 1950's
Home Economics textbook intended for High School girls, teaching them how to prepare for married life.

1. HAVE DINNER READY: Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a
delicious meal - on time. This is a way of letting him know that you
have been thinking about him, and are concerned about his needs.
Most men are hungry when they come home and the prospects of a good
meal are part of the warm welcome needed.
2. PREPARE YOURSELF: Take
15 minutes to rest so you will be refreshed when he arrives. Touch
up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh looking. He
has just been with a lot of work-weary people. Be a little *** and a
little more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.
3. CLEAR
AWAY CLUTTER. Make one last trip through the main part of the house
just before your husband arrives, gathering up school books, toys,
paper, etc. Then run a dust cloth over the tables. Your husband
will feel he has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give
you a lift too.
4. PREPARE THE CHILDREN. Take a few minutes to wash
the children's hands and faces if they are small, comb their hair,
and if necessary, change their clothes. They are little treasures
and he would like to see them playing the part. 5. MINIMIZE THE
NOISE: At the time of his arrival, eliminate all noise of washer,
dryer, or vacuum. Try to encourage the children to be quiet. Greet
him with a warm smile and kiss, letting him know you're glad to see
him.
6. SOME DONT'S: Don't greet him with problems or complaints.
Don't complain if he's late for dinner. Count this as minor
compared with what he might have gone through that day.
7. MAKE HIM
COMFORTABLE. Have him lean back in a comfortable chair or suggest he
lay down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for him.
Arrange his pillow and offer to take off his shoes. Speak in a low,
soft, soothing and pleasant voice. Allow him to relax and unwind.
8. LISTEN TO HIM: You may have a dozen things to tell him, but the
moment of his arrival is not the time. Let him talk first.
9. MAKE
THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he does not take you out to
dinner or to other places of entertainment; instead try to
understand his world of strain and pressure and his need to be home
and relax.
10. THE GOAL: try to make your home a place of peace and
order where your husband can relax.

WELCOME TO 2000!

1. HAVE DINNER READY: Make reservations ahead of time. If your day
becomes too hectic just leave him a voice mail message regarding
where you'd like to eat and at what time. This lets him know that
your day has been bad and gives him an opportunity to change your
mood.
2. PREPARE YOURSELF: Make sure to change out of your work
clothes into something comfortable. Who cares if he likes it or not
... after all, it's most likely his T-shirt and boxers.
3. CLEAR
AWAY CLUTTER: Yeah right! Tell the kids and your husband if they
want maid service, they better call one! or please tell them to
clean it up... you do not have the time.
4. PREPARE THE CHILDREN:
Send the children to their rooms to watch television, play Nintendo or play on the pc.
5. MINIMIZE THE NOISE: Yell to him over the loud
music your kids are playing, that this is what you had to put up
with while he was gone. And mention that it was his decision to buy
the kids a new CD player in the first place.
6. SOME DONT'S: Don't
greet him with problems and complaints. Let him speak first, and
then your complaints will get more attention and remain fresh in his
mind throughout dinner. Don't complain if he's late for dinner,
simply remind him that the leftovers are in the fridge and heat it
up in the microwave and you left the dishes for him to do.
7. MAKE
HIM COMFORTABLE: Tell him where he can find a blanket if he's cold.
This will really show you care.
8. LISTEN TO HIM: But don't ever let
him get the last word.
9. MAKE THE EVENING HIS: Never complain if he
does not take you out to dinner or other places of entertainment; go
with a friend or go shopping. Familiarize him with the phrase
"Girls' Night Out!"
10. THE GOAL: Try to keep things amicable
without reminding him that he only thinks the world revolves around
him. Obviously he's wrong, it revolves around you.

 

They forgot the part about the quads....

THEN: Cleaning the quad... The wife washes and waxes his mud covered quad with a big smile on her face and remembers to lube the chain for him!! SHE doesn't have time for a quad...housework is #1.

NOW: Cleaning the quad... She washes her own quad and laughs as she remembers the look on his face when she roosted him on that last muddy trail!!!! (His quad, of course, is muddier than hers because of that!!!) She doesn't have time to feel sorry for him or help him.. She is busy planning the trail trip!!


How's that....that is how it goes at my house anyway!!!!!!
Yeap...I'm the wife!!!

 

you go girl!! its like that at my house too!

Wow girls ride quads? j/k No you'd have to be from around here to get it. Most girls around here dont know WHAT a 4-wheeler is they think your talking about a jeep or something. Hmmmm looks like I need to move! That would be cool to be able to go riding with a wife/significant other.....well right up to the roosted part then that may hurt our male ego's! =-) Ride on everyone!

 

That's was great! i don't think i could have survived then! just a note: i am the one that bought the quad 1st, 4 months ago, i have since upgraded already. I got my husband into quadding when he seen how much fun i was haviing without him! it was all my idea! we are actually thinking of getting a 80 quad for my daughter. she's liking it!

"a woman's place is on her quad!"

Don't get me wrong i love and care very well for my family, they come 1st! but after them i love to quad! three cheers for the year 2000!

i am glad to see more woman on this site!
just in case other men read this they need to know that woman can ride and still be feminine!!!!!!!!!
just a little wet and muddy!!!!!!!!!!

 

Too bad I can`t take my quad back to the 50`s! J/K

 

i wish i could get my wife to ride..i even offered her my magnum 325 before i traded it..she said what the hell would i want to do that for i have no interest..if you put my 21 mos old daughter on the quad and putt around the yard she screams when you try to take her off of it,now thats a girl that i think will be riding when shes 5 or 6 , i hope
