My mother grew up in this timeframe and that is exactly how she was taught to care for her husband. That is exactly how she waited on my father hand and foot never saying a word against him. Her mother even went so far as to tell her she always had to sleep facing my father just in case he had any.... "needs".
Until I showed her how women today lived. She nearly had a heart attack when I yelled at my father for asking her to make him popcorn the day he brought her home from quadruple bypass surgery. I promptly told my mother who was trying to manage to get off the couch to sit her *** down on that couch. I then told my father that last I checked his arms and legs werent broken but if I ever heard him ask anything of my mother again until she was recovered I would be more than happy to break all 4 limbs. I then took my father to the kitchen and showed him how to make microwave popcorn. To this day things have been different for my parents and far more liberating for my mother who is happier now than she hasd ever been in her life.
