The following is a "rebuttal" to "The Good Wife" description excerpted from a 1950's high school home economics book.
The "Millennial Wife"
Have dinner ready. Call ahead and let your husband know the location of the restaurant he has to pick it up from.
Prepare yourself. Start running the water for your bath and grab your favorite book and some wine before he gets home so when he walks through the door, you can disappear.
Clear away the clutter. Any bills you know you don't want your husband to see or receipts from the stores you spent way too much money at, quick hide them! Play stupid when he asks about the monthly bills that he doesn't have anything to do with anyway. Make sure he knows how difficult it is to get by these days. (Cry if you have to, that works the first couple of times - if that doesn't work, turn the tables and get pissed at him!)
Minimize the noise. Tell him if he says one word before you've had your bath he's dead meat.
Some don'ts: Don't take any complaints from him. If he's late for dinner, tell him how he could never go through what you go through in the run of one day and you'd MUCH rather be at work sitting behind a desk than changing diapers and disciplining screaming kids and neck high in laundry and cleaning. Oh, mention you've hired a cleaning company to take care of this. If he doesn't agree, tell him you'll have to go on Prozak if you don't get some help.
Listen to him. If he starts to say stuff you're not interested in, pretend your are. (only bother with this step if you think you might want a little hanky panky later on, otherwise, tell him to shut up.)
Make the evening his. Call some friends and go out shopping or to a movie. Let him stay home with the kids.
The goal. You are the most important person in the universe. Make sure he knows that and lives it to the fullest.
