LOL, this is true Vick....
Yes, my kids are quite well mannered, and I'm told that alot.
I do see your point about television and it's affects on children (and parents for that matter) and I agree. There are many shows out there today I'd never let my kids watch.
I also think it's best for one parent to stay home, but I certainly don't believe that this parent is reflected at all in that piece above.
It shows absolutely no concern for the children's well being, only that of the husband. There is no mention of the children except to make sure they are clean for when your man comes home so they can "play the part" of "little treasures". It also says to keep them quiet.
You can stay at home, take care of the house, the errands, the children and still be able to tell your husband (or wife for that matter) how your day went, and how you are feeling. It's okay to get pissed off if hubby stays out all night. The kids can let dad know how their day went and jump around the house before dinner time. All of these things are natural, and healthy for everyone.

Alcohol was the drug of choice in the 50's for the most part, my guess is because of it's availablility.
Times change and new circumstances which create problems surface all of the time. IMHO, it would be naive and far too simplistic to put all the blame on a breakdown of morals since the 50's...especially morals that dictate women and children to be second to men.
