Modern housewives are sometimes told that they're living in the past. Here's an article from The Daily Mail (UK) about three women who really do live in the past. It's not something I would choose, but they're not breaking any laws, they're not hurting anyone, they're happy, and their husbands share their devotion to living in the past. Personally, I'd love to have the Fifties lady's kitchen and the Fourties lady's car.
I clicked on the Time Warp Wives link and thoroughly enjoyed it! It seemed that the three major themes were clearly defined roles, modest, feminine dress, and moral, slower-paced lives.
I would, however, love to see how they would handle the children issue. It would be nice to know how the women who actually lived through the eras were able to concentrate on husband AND children.
Are there any blogs 90, 80, and 70 yo women who would fill us in on this? Anyone know?
Thanks for linking this!

I'd love to have seen this show too, one of my blogging pals linked to it. Apparently you can watch the show in three parts on Youtube so I might try to watch it.
