What's the most domesticated thing you do?

[Lush]

Can you skin and jug a hare?

Knit your own Albion bobble hat?

Have you made a mug tree - since leaving school!

Do you make jam/chutney/marmalade?

I have been given a load of shallots from someone's garden - and I am going to pickle them - sterilised screw top jars - the works!!!

I put my own dirty clothes in my wife's laundry basket this morning. I'm recovering quite well considering.

Nah, I like doing the shopping. Only way to get what I want. How come women find it so difficult to differentiate between 2-ply and 3-ply toilet paper?

 

[Emily's Mum]

Since living on my own again for the first time in 20 years, I have suprised myself at how well I am doing. My former other half did all the shopping, cooking & washing up & have managed with these things quite well, but I have also replaced the shower unit, put together Ikea flat pack furniture & managed to programme the video!

The one thing I haven't done so far is the ironing & I'm going to see how long I can last without anything being ironed

The following is from a 1950's Home Economics textbook
intended for High School girls: "How to prepare for married
life." Ah, the good ol days eh ladies?!



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 gay and a little
more interesting. His boring day may need a lift.

3. Clear away the 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, dishwasher, or vacuum. Try to encourage
the children to be quiet. Be happy to see him. Greet him with a
warm smile and be glad to see him.

6. Some DON'TS: 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 lie 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.

[timseagull]

Well I'm a 21st century guy. I cook my own meals as my other half has usually eaten her meal by the time I get in , do the dishes (for both of us) my own washing and ironing, put the bins out, I am capable of doing the shopping (but generally not allowed) Oh and lets not forget cleaning the bog. I am available for hire at a reasonable hourly rate. These services are not available at weekends during the football season!

 

[Sergi Gotsmanov]

I try to make sure I wipe the skid marks off the pan before flushing.
