About the first list...
I have to be honest, it really rubs me the wrong way. I understand that fifty years ago this list was acceptable, however it still sounds disrespectful. It makes the wife sound insignificant as a human being. Who was she supposed to talk to about her thoughts and feelings? Oh that's right, the other housewives. Give me a break.
I'm not saying that doing nice things for your husband is a bad thing. I'm all for taking care of my significant other - along the lines of, I'll scratch your back if you scratch mine.
aephi alum...I like your list. Very funny.
