How things have changed ?

@Nimbus Well, if I ever come to England we will stay out all night like a typical Aussie at my age in bed by 10.30pm

@Musicman Even before cell phones they had a way to call the wife and let her know he wouldn’t be home and more importantly WHY. No excuse to let her sit and wait on him for dinner like my ex did a huge number of times. I figure if they don’t call and aren’t involved in something like a car accident or other emergency then they have no good excuse and don’t want to be questioned.

@4meAndyou Combined with naivety, yes.

@Nimbus My mother was a housewife during that era. She worked as a substitute teacher, had two children and hated to cook. She was terrible at it. She delegated chores she hated, like starting supper, ironing, dusting, and more, to me as soon as I hit the 4th grade. She started every day by driving my father to work because they were sharing a car. Then every evening we had to pick him up.

@4meAndyou Sounds exhausting just reading of that!
