[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s the definition of dolling up? My mother has always been a SAHM. I remember her always starting to get herself ready around 5 pm everyday. She’d shower again, put on something pretty and some light makeup. My dad always came home at 6, and then they’d giggle like kids in the kitchen while she put the final touches on dinner. We knew to wait elsewhere until we were called to eat. I try to always look presentable.[/quote]

Being a SAHM used to be so different.   4-7pm is just about my busiest time of day with homework, getting dinner at the exact right time everyone can eat together, and driving kids around to various activities.  I can’t imagine taking that time to shower and hang out with my husband.

We didn't chronically overschedule our kids back then. They didn't have "extracurriculars" every night of the week. They'd be out, running around the neighborhood or riding their bikes in packs, and parents were home, cooking, cleaning, and preparing for the evening.

We messed it up, honestly. Not a tradwife, but there are some things about "the way it was" that were better for adults and kids, IMO.[/quote]

Was there travel soccer or hockey back in the 80s or 90s?
When I was a kid, I didn't rely on parents to chauffeur me around. I did sports afterschool and rode the afterschool bus home. I walked to ballet class. That said, like most suburban kids, I got my driver's license ASAP.

Different poster, but yes there was travel sports then.

Travel sports now are more for the parents than the kids. The whole excuse that it helps kids get college scholarships is laoughable.  Invest that same amount of money and you could easily pay for college. Your kid isn't going pro.[/quote]
