From the Homemaker’s Encyclopedia 1954, lovingly compiled by RetroLife, comes this picture of a prototypical husband of the 50′s (notice the ever-present pipe) doing the dishes!

Photographic Proof? hah, hardly. this is an illustration. Also, his wife sure likes to get right in the way.

Notice he is “helping” with the dishes, not “doing” the dishes. I bet he expects a medal or something for that.
The language of the period, I know. It also gripes me when a daddy is supervising his own children and people say he is “babysitting.”

I can’t imagine this went down well when he realized his friends were watching. :p
