You would definitely still worry about money if your husband was the type to get his pay packet and drink most of it away within the first few hours.

Not trying to have a go or anything because there's the fact you've stated that there's a reason this is a secret, and I know it's not unusual that the extremely positive/upbeat version of housewife existence often presented in light entertainment appeals. But depending on your social class, worrying about money was still a thing.

Personally I'm glad to live in the world now, stressful as it is. I have always felt (right from my teens) like I can imagine nothing worse than being made to feel like I'm not allowed to be smart or ambitious or have any interests outwith the domestic sphere, like all that other stuff is purely my husband's domain.

For real this. But I get the idea that op is talking more about the fantasy aspect of that lifestyle, because Rob Petrie would NEVER!

Precisely. Fantasy? Fine. Some husbands of that era in fiction are everything you'd want them to be in that set up.

But here in real life, the bar is extremely low and a lot of men would still manage to hit their head on it.
