Have you ever thought of how the family has changed ; for example. The men or husbands would go to work, while the wife stayed at home with the children and cooking. Then - what...the women were either FORCED to earn $$$ because of the economy and wanting more than their parents OR just needed something else besides diapers and recipes?? Thus, husbands maybe let up on THEIR duties, and the wives would need to get involved with refinishing furniture, building a fence, or whatever most of us do today. As women became more ambitious, men became more.......less involved in the things that use to be "men's work". How many women were heads of companies back then compared to today? So who has it better? I don't know the answer to that.

These were fun to see, though I'd find them quite offensive if they were around today. Especially the one about the coffee, with its message that men have the right to spank their wives.
And while there were of course good things about those days that are gone now, such as a family being able to live well on one income so a parent was able to stay home with the kids, they weren't ideal.
