1950 Family Date, Dinner In A 1950’s Home
(via 2thepast)
1:06 - The women of this family seem to feel that they owe it to the men of the family to look relaxed, rested, and attractive at dinnertime.
2:50 - Now, mother and daughter put the finishing touches on the dinner.
5:30 - Pleasant, unemotional conversation helps digestion.
6:34 - Tell mother how good the food is. Maybe sis rates a compliment, too. It makes them want to continue pleasing you.
7:32 - Don’t make unkind comparisons about your standard of living. The dinner table is no place for discontent. It makes Dad and Mother uncomfortable, and unhappy.
8:26 - This does not mean you should be stiff or formal. With your own family, you can relax. Be yourself. Just be sure it’s your best self.
8:45 - Now we’re ready for dessert. Most families don’t have maids, so mother needs help with the serving from the kitchen. Son says mother has done enough. Watch him play butler.
9:31 - There is no family so poor but that the evening meal can be eaten in an atmosphere of warmth, and gentleness. There is no family so busy but that it can come together in the evening for a dinner date, which will give its members something to look back upon all their days.
