  • Hello everyone and welcome to my channel if you’re new and welcome back if you’ve been here before. Today’s video is a bit different. I’ve been down the 1950s rabbit hole lately 😂 so I wanted to do a video filming a typical day in the 50s from a wife’s perspective. In my imagination, this is what it was like as a lesbian living with your “roommate” . I had a lot of fun filming this video and I hope you enjoy it. Thank you for watching! Please like, comment, and subscribe. ☺️

    There were black housewives in the 50s, maybe not as many but they existed. My grandmother told me stories of her aunts who married military men and stayed home with the children. Pastors wives usually stayed home, as well as many other wives of professional men.

    This was interesting. As a single working mom, most of my housework was done at night after dinner. Saturday was the day for opening windows and airing the place out. Dusting and polishing and sanitizing the bathroom were always for that day. But I always made the beds as soon as we got up and those breakfast dishes were done right away. I loved coming home to a clean house and I can't imagine what it would have been like to have time to do things at a slower pace because I felt like I was always running.

      We can do this today .. consumerism is what changed things in the 80s .. if we fight against consumerism we can go back to raising our children, caring for our homes , couponing, preparing healthy delicious meals for our family.. hand dry our clothes , reduce utility bills .. but used but good cars .. if we all normalize this . Watch how good society will be . It's amazing

    I am a person of color, my mom, aunts, grandmother & all the lady's were house wife's who had husbands and young children. I was born in the 1950'.. your wrong about not many black females stayed home. My father was a pastor the church women mostly who were married and housewife as well.. all over the black community. If any women worked who was married, it had be a part time side job. The wife first responsibilities were God,home,family. Your home was to showed pride of the family. It was a show place for your husband's network. Inside your community. The wife was the husbands everything cook, nurse, business partner. Home decore operations & daily cook for not just a good Meal, but healthy meals. ❤
