1930s Marital Rating Scale : wedding humor montreal relationships Thought

Clearly if I filled out this 1930s marital rating chart (wife edition), I’d fail miserably! I’d lose points on:

#1 - Slow in coming to bed
#5 - Wears red nail polish
#9 - Puts her cold feet on husband at night to warm them
#10 - Is a backseat driver

And lets not even talk about the whole “housekeeping” and dressing for breakfast part.Personally I find it ridic… especially compared to the husband chart:

I fail by today’s standards. I’m glad that I’ve got someone who isn’t that into standards.

I would lose points on the same things as you! But FH would definitely lose points on 9-12 in the demerits column. And none of those things really bother me. Some things never change, I suppose.

Oh!!! I’ve seen these before, they’re actually in a bag right now, because I wanted to fill them out, for fun, when I got home tonight.

Totally hilarious what was and was not acceptable behaviour for a wife/husband back then.

Snoring? He’s no good! Crooked Hose Lines? She is sloppy! LOL

Oh my LAWD. Red nail polish!? Bahahaha. I am such a harlot. Also, the cold feet thing cracks me up. Why is that not on the husbands list?!

HA! These are hysterical (says the woman who is sitting in her pajamas about to make “breakfast for dinner”…Pretty sure that right there qualifies for at least 5 demerits!)

I dress in my PJs for breakfast! And if I am feeling fancy I will even throw on my slippers! And I agree with Miss CA…my FH puts HIS cold feet on me, not the other way around. But I don’t mind because I am an oven, he warms up while I cool off.

HA! This is hilarious. I fail miserably. I insist on bringing my breakfast to bed every morning (too cold to eat it at the table!), red nail polish is awesome, and I most definitely warm my feet up on Mr E’s. And he snores. So there. One little demerit for him compared to my multitude

I find it absolutely irresistible to put my cold feet on my husband to warm them up when I get in bed. I know he hates it. It probably doesn’t help that I always burst out laughing over the pained noises he makes. I’m a callous bringer of discomfort.

This is the best thing! I am cracking up & my FI loved it too! I definitely warm my cold feet on my husband - he gets so upset with me!
Definite fail for me, but FI fails too - he doesn’t give me an adequate allowance!!!

Reads newspapers aloud to wife? WTF?! Hahaha. Oh, and I’d fail everything. I don’t cook or clean. I suppose I dress for breakfast, since I eat it during class.

hahahaha “wears red nail polish” buu me, I guess I’m not perfect, cuz sometimes I wear curlers in the bed as well (the only way curls stay in my hair for more than a minute)

funny how the “publicly praises bachelor days and regrets having married” is not weighted at all!

I’m glad to know that learning to play a musical instrument is all it would take to offset the points lost for those often crooked stocking seams.

This is funny, but how on earth were 1930s housewives supposed to be a good wife when your max possible score is only 30? That’s barely above “failure”!
