I Lived Like A 1950's HOUSEWIFE For 24 HOURS! | Emelyne

- I spent 24 hours like a 1950's housewife! I woke up early in the morning, got my self all dolled up and went off to the kitchen to cook my husband breakfast. Once he was off to work I had quite a large cleaning list to get through. 1950's housewives took pride in their homes and made sure they were spotless everyday. After that I had to go grocery shopping and begin cooking! After everyone was fed dinner I had to do MORE cleaning before I could finally relax. This experiment was so fun to try out, I was not able to use my phone or social media for 24 hours! Would you try it out?!

I'm sorry if I offended anyone by saying I hate when people smoke. The woman who lives below me is a heavy smoker. I get terrible migraines every time she smokes which is everyday. My dog who recently passed away had a really bad breathing issue and certain things like cigarette smoke would trigger her episodes. I had to invest thousands of dollars into emergency vet bills and getting an oxygen tank just so Cutie could breathe comfortably at home when she was smoking. It was a horrific situation that has left me with tons of anxiety and nightmares. Just thinking about it I feel sick. The woman knew exactly what was going on but didn't care. Moving wasn't an option because I couldn't afford to live anywhere else. If you've been a subscriber then you would have seen the videos of me crying hysterically and explaining this on this channel and my vlog channel. Maybe now those of you who judged me so harshly can understand why I hate the act of smoking. I also want my young subscribers to have a role model who does not agree with smoking, it is so important to be healthy and not put bad things into your body. Many people do not talk enough about the dangers of smoking and second hand smoke. It is a very serious issue and should not be taken lightly.
SweetEmelyne's Dude, screw smoking. Shit's bad.
Totally don't worry about it, but it's so sweet you thought of it. Yay for soft hearts :) For real though, my brother is a smoker and I've lived with him smoking for over 15 years now. Never had issues, but now I've developed asthma and other allergic reactions. Have to carry an inhaler. Secondhand smoke absolutely hurts others. Fight for your loved ones, even the furry ones! It sure sounds like your animals have a good momma :)
Also, totally wear your grandma's ring! Heirlooms are meant to be worn, used, appreciated, cherished, and then passed on!
A few thousand dollars for vet bills compared to $20,000 a year for rent to live in a new place is a huge difference. It's extremely rude to question me on such a sensitive topic.
Thank you so much love! I'm sorry to hear about your asthma, it's such a hard thing to live with. You are so sweet!
SweetEmelyne's you're perfectly right smoking is terrible and I'm sooo sorry about your dog
Watch buzzfeed steal this idea in 3......2......1......
Keeping up with Kamryn omg exactly xD
They would but bitch the whole time lol
Nefertiti Kimagawa they don't realize that this can actually be a well rounded life
Keeping up with kamryn OMG MY NAME IS KAMRYN TOO AND ITS SPELLED THE SAME WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah + they will 100% add social commentary how patriarchal and mysoginistic the whole idea was lol
I loved the video! There's nothing wrong in wanting to be a housewife, the problem is when you don't have a choice.
I agree
Mariana Mosquera true. and if you are enslaved into it and your husband treats you like ship and property and a maid
Exactly!!!
THANK YOU! I completely agree!
Mariana Mosquera I don't have a choice
If you're going to comment about me using a camera, obviously I have to use a camera to film this or else you wouldn't be watching this. Just enjoy the video and stop trying to find something wrong :)
SweetEmelyne's ,I think it's ironic that more women were married back then because they knew their role . Despite all of the feminism .It doesn't work .We are going against the grain. We are nurturers of future generations.We have forgotten that.Nice challenge look forward to next challenge.
Rashaun Jones hell no, all people despite race, gender, or sexuality have a choice in what they would like to do during their life. A women's "place" is not cooking or at home picking up after her children and husband when she could be doing something that actually benefits society as a whole. When women joined the workforce, families were more likely to be financially stable, it also made it easier to thrive is a spouse died. So no, we are not the "nurturers" of the future, and we damn well don't have to put up with the conformity you think we should follow. :)
take it a step further and use a camera from the 50s XD
kkipod kelly ,I am sorry that you feel that way.No one is asking for any type of conformity.But we lost generations because we don't know our roles.When I say roles,I mean both men and women.Men as head of households and women
as helpers.This what is intended and we should work as one in a marriage as God intended.
SweetEmelyne's what was the book you were reading the recipes from called
It is sad to know that even a 1950's housewife had a more interesting life than me.
shfghy hfghyts same :'v
She didn't do everything they had to do. It was a lot harder. She just followed one site instructions.
agree me running for distance and sprinting is like im going to die i know my event 100 200 1 mile im trying to be versity for all
shfghy hfghyts you are acting like you died you can make your life more interesting still you HAVE a chance not HAD you HAVE so don’t doubt yourself now do it when you didn’t do anything in life when you HAD a chance
shfghy hfghyts I’m sure that’s not true. The 1950s was when they started taking anti depressants. Milltown was a big one. They were actually very depressed but would t talk about it
My grandmother is 84 years old was a part of the "1950s house wife" generation. Whenever we talk about it, she always looks back on it so sadly. She was a star student and graduated from college, but because of the time, she didn't pursue a career. She did what her family expected of her and got married/had children right away with a man, who turned out to be very abusive. She told me that things were different and women didn't have as many opportunities as they do now. It really puts my life in perspective and makes me realise that I take things for granted sometimes. She is a beautiful woman and deserved a chance to be more.
Caitlin Marie ohmigosh, the same is with my great grandma! she did the exact thing but she still loves her husband who's dead.
Agree, we do take opportunities nowadays for granted, I wish your Grandma all the best!
Caitlin Marie Yes, the 40s and 50s aesthetic may seem glamorous but the reality was the farthest from glamorous for many. I had the chance to meet my great grandmother and she was the sweetest lady, but unfortunately she had a rough life. She was extremely poor and was forced to marry at 15 to a 36 year old man with 5 children, she then birthed 10 more children from him. He was also abusive. I can't imagine the hell it must've been for my great grandmother and your grandma.
Caitlin Marie there's nothing wrong with being a housewife, but when a lady is forced, then it's wrong
My grandmother is also 84, and always says it was a really bad time. She was a child during the great depression and finished high school at 16 then got married and pregnant. She went on to have 5 children and 4 husbands. Only two of her kids had the same dad. She was always the simple housewife and she obeyed her husband. She was abused and cheated on by her first three husbands. Then she met an amazing man, who unfortunately died of lung cancer. So i really understand. The 50's was a..interesting time period, nonetheless.
In about 60 years, someone is going to do a “I lived like a 2017 stay-at-home mom for 24 hours!” and it will be AMAZING
Oh Lord. I'm not looking forward to that
@@ashledashnaw5279 lol
LMAO🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
FR DUDE
Fast forward to the 2020 covid period, that will be tough!
I saw one for the 1990’s. Wasn’t that yesterday? 🤣
Wilbur (my pup) has a brain disease called cerebellar degeneration. It affects his brain which causes neurological issues. I've gotten so many questions about him on this video so I wanted to address it, he's not in pain. He's very happy but the disease causes him to have bad coordination and makes him shake
SweetEmelyne's what breed is your adorable pup??? 😍
Pomeranian & chihuahua!!💓
SweetEmelyne's your dog is really cute and I think you should keep the ring and put it on rose gold or whatever it is called.
Your pup is so adorable♡♡♡ I have a kitty. I still live at home and my mom has a dog.
Your grandma was Oma? So was mine! Oma and Opa♡
SweetEmelyne's KEEP THE RING ITS SO PITTY
Ahhhh! Do NOT ruin your grandmother's ring! It is unique and has a lot of meaning, don't ruin it just to make it fit in with modern trends, it'll be out of fashion in 10 years anyway, but your grandmother's ring is timeless.
So true! Fashion changes like almost every day, you may wake up, go to Instagram and boom, while you were sleeping people be like "we want to wear bicycle shorts cause it looks awesome". And then like a month later everyone is like :" nah, I'm tired of Bicycle shorts" . Same with accessories and everything. Fashion changes, but the memories stay with u forever 💖
Love Ring!
Exactly. ..
keep your grandmother's ring because I feel like it will make more memories with a new generation and than you can pass it down to your future daughter 👌❤❤
Haechanthe lilsavage Yes definitely!
That's so beautiful! I love that idea💕💕
Haechanthe lilsavage yes that's a great idea and if she has a son she can give it to him to give to his future wife but I do think it's a little big
TOTALLY AGREE its so pretty
TOTALLY AGREE its so pretty
Feminism means supporting women for whatever lifestyle they choose for themselves, whether that's being a hardcore career woman, a hardworking homemaker, or anything in between 💕 This video was so interesting and I agree, I love the "simpler" way of life especially as an anxious person, and I often wonder what it would be like to not have social media and the internet in general because I feel like it sucks up a lot of my time and brain power.
YES YES YES! Perfect comment💕💕 and not having social media made me think so much clearer and I felt a lot less anxious!
Jesse Blair-French YES
SweetEmelyne's Maybe you should try to have the ring tightened so it can fit you. I think that you can do that in any shop that sells silver/gold rings. ❤❤
Jesse Blair-French gosh, I love your comment. I personally do not like the idea of living as a housewife. But I support it 100% if other women want to do it.
yes... I am all for empowering people to live the lifestyle they truly want. Not the one society has for themselves... In my culture women go to work, housewife is really rare... (post communist country) and i dont mind it, i like the opportunity to be able to make a career without being looked down upon. I however know that when a woman wants to be a housewife some people do gossip about it, when in fact just 60 years ago it wasnt so shocking. I also support women from different cultures who want to work, be independent, live alone - and cant. For example in muslim countries..
It's so sweet to see how kind you are to your dog with his neurological condition. So nice to see a responsible loving owner who puts takes on the stress of a special dog. Lots of love.
Aww Gabi you so much for the sweet comment:)
My dog is similar but instead she has horrible arthritis in her back legs and can’t go around the corners in our house or jump up on beds to sleep.She has a fear of going around the corners so we have to make room for her to enter rooms and to go around corners.Sometime’s she hits her legs on our beds while jumping up on the beds or on the doorway frames.
@@radioactivesmiess5412 Have you tried Rimadyl? It's a people drug for arthritis. I've seen it work wonders.
Sometimes, it can cause liver problems, but I'm.assuming this is an older dog, the vet will keep after it and it's quality of life, not quantity. I'd prefer a dog who's happy and not in pain. Jmo.
I take care of dogs for a living.
My grandmother still lives like this every day. She wakes up early, makes meals, goes grocery shopping every day, does laundry and cleans everyday. I'm so grateful for her. Hard-working women like this are truly a blessing.
Matt LITC awe she sounds cute
She goes grocery shopping everyday?
Aurora Lebeouf -- Yup! Everyday.
Yeah I lived with my grandmother for sometime and she did all of the stuff the girl in this video did
Mateo LITC my grandmother went to the grocery store every day also. She got fresh bread, milk and meat every day
my feelings: if you ignore the sexism and racism and all the problems of the 50s, it was really a good time. the fashion was amazing, the 50s diners are great, the whole aesthetic of it was just amazing.
Kay! 100% agree! If it wasn't for all that ugliness I'd love to live like they did in the 50's!
And all the health issues lol
Heather Thomas whats funny about the health issues..
Alaskan Potato well nothing. My point was everyone forgets about all the bad stuff so easily. Not just sexism and racism, but also the lack of medical advancements and all of the crap that that brings.
Heather Thomas the 50s didn't have health care insurance, but vaccines were starting to be used
i love the fashion and aesthetic of the 50's but my hispanic ancestors were treated like shit..
pinkprincessinc I love the aesthetic of the 50's as well it's just that if you weren't a straight, white male you basically had a shit time
pinkprincessinc yeah
pinkprincessinc I love it too and I'm half Japanese. I do it to show pride for my people and show that ethnicities other than white can be 1940s and 1950s beautiful. ☺️
Same
I feel that 😕
16:44 “Greet the husband gaily.”
Me: Stealthily crouches behind the door with a martini and a handful of glitter.
Really man, really? A martini and glitter?
I LOLed imagining this.
I hope you guys like this video! Every time I post a video about the 50's they tend to get a lot of hate from people talking about women's roles, the way of life and so on. That being said, there's no need to argue in the comments about how people lived back then. Just enjoy this video and be happy! Haha I love you guysss xoxo
SweetEmelyne's please do a round 2 if you can?!?
SweetEmelyne's the person who made the hate page is a jerk.
I loved this video! You should totally do another one!
SweetEmelyne's Gorgeous
I'd love to!!
keep the ring and just size it properly
sleepingterror yea like its simple they will just take about off the back and its fine
same
Agreed!
sleepingterror I agree
sleepingterror yeah
Wilbur is so cute, and props to you for adopting him. Not many people would take a dog with a brain disease in.
YoursTruly I was wondering about the little guy! He is so lucky to have such a caring, sweet mommy!
I agree with you! Smoking is so nasty!
Liri 👽-"Sarah Wagner So does drinking alcohols-(beers, wines, & etc.)"
KaramelLolaBunnie91 ya
Liri 👽-"isa It depends on the human though."
Drinking alcohol is bad in other ways. You can lose control and start drinking too much, waste a lot of money, put yourself and others in danger...
Sarah Wagner
everytime i see a person smoking i hold my breath so that i wont breath it in.
Girl, you need to hook me up with some of those vintage items! I'm all about vintage!
Grace S Saaaaame
Grace :3 LMAO MY MOM CALLED OLD LPS THE MORE POPULAR ONE "VINTADGE" LPS LMAAAAO AHAHAHHAH
Leave it and size it! Who says you can have a diamond too big?!?!
I agree, traditional gold is timeless.. Rose gold is a trend and I don't think she should do that to a piece of jewelry that old with such history. I think it's a beautiful ring, just resize and keep it as is!
Carolyn Rose yes! Amen. it's up to her and her taste! No one else's!
I love it as is too.
Both of my grandmother's would put out a full breakfast which was 2 eggs, bacon, toast, fruit, juice, milk, and cereal every single day but they only had time for juice and toast. Then the entire list you have followed by a full dinner and dessert. Hair was rolled the night before, makeup was removed after they washed and curled their hair. They wore house dresses and slippers while doing chores but what I thought was weird was getting fully dressed and ready before their husbands get up and then putting on slippers and house dresses after he left only to re-do it all before he gets home.
Yes I feel like she needed to do a bit more to be at what a 50s housewife to do list entailed.
Well, because why mess up a pretty dress to crawl around on the floor cleaning? Some women were jeans for housework, too.
Bacon and eggs won't ever hurt you, as long, as it isn't every day. We used to eat scrapple, which is basically fried pork. In my family, if you don't drink too much, you'll live to your 90s.
Also, there's no canceling out a bad diet, even I'd you're skinny and fit. Can still have a stroke or heart attack, even if you're young. See video game deaths. They got thick blood from sitting too much and too much junk, pop and not enough water. Called Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
The house dresses were actually quite attractive and nice enough to wear outside to hang laundry or go visit a neighbor. They also featured large pockets on the skirt which distinguishes them from a day dress which would be worn out to a tea or luncheon or to church on warm days. Watch Ethel Mertz. She wore house dresses with large pockets Nothing like the granny gown house dresses today.
I wish i could find a stylish 50s type house dress to wear.
Get your own ring.. your grandchildren will love it. As far as your grandmas ring- keep it and wear it when you want to switch it up. That way, you can still honor it but wouldn’t have to change a thing about it. Good luck and you grandmas ring is gorgeous 🙂
YOU SHOULD KEEP THE RING EXACTLY THE SAME OR PUT IT ON A ROSE GOLD SETTING THE RING IS TOO SENTIMENTAL TO CHANGE OR REPLACE
LOVE THE VIDEOS
Cool!
I think grandma's ring is stunning, keep it as is
You made me vintage obsessed 😻😻😻
You just solved a house mystery for me! I bought a house a few years ago that was built in the early 50’s. In a couple of the rooms there are these weird boxes on the wall that I couldn’t figure out what they were for. When you held up the plug for your pink phone, it clicked! They’re phone jacks for phones that have that style plug! I’m so excited to know that now! 😄
That vintage cafe is so adorable!
I loved how it had a flat screen 😂😂
You could get a rose gold ring INSPIRED by your grandmothers ring. It would be sentimental, but you wouldn't have to sacrifice hers. I kind of agree that hers looks large on you (not that you know me or that my opinion matters) but maybe just find a design that looks similar to it or ask a jewelry designer to make one inspired by it!
I LOVE THAT IDEA!!!
They have so many beautiful antique looking setting with a modern twist now a days, I’m sure you could find something perfect at one of those remounting events they have a jewelry stores!
That’s a really good idea!
good idea Shelby S
Shelby S I totally agree even though I'm really late. She shouldn't have to sacrifice what she wants but that shouldn't mean she also has to give up her grandma's ring.
I don't think I could stay a housewife. Maybe for the first year or 2 after my kid was born but after that I have to go back to work. They way I grew up, I honestly can't solely depend on my husband for all my financial needs. I watched my grandfather screw over my grandmother that way. I need my own money, my own safety net because you never know what may happen. Now I will never look down on another woman that does or wants to. You do what feel is right for you. I am all about women having the right to make their own choices. Back in the 50s there wasn't much of a choice, it was how you said a way of life. I do think the 50s house wife life is cute and I can see myself doing it on the weekends when I am not working, or cooking because I love to cute(I want your aprons!), or laying out a cocktail spread because I can't make a good drink. I just can't see myself doing it to the T. I do love your videos and I'm subscribing to see more :). Yay for vintage lifestyle!

oh day glory - wow, misogynistic much?
I've done it for over 40 years , plus help run a farm and cook on an 1879 wood cook stove, summer and winter. The only modern thing in our home is my grandson's computer. I love it and love my wonderful hubby who chops the wood and plows the field.
That sounds awesome
I want another *VERY EXTRA* video with your boyfriend as your husband and you getting extremely dressed to go out 😫😫
rylee vadenais ooh yeah that would be so cool
Do it again but this time with Conner
I need to get him to do it!
Miriam R'kik she should film parts it in black and white or something, make it feel more vintage haha I loved this
Miriam R'kik good idea, but i don't think he would be in much of the video since men typically did manual work while women stayed home.
its your grandmothers ring dont do anything to it if you have to just have it sized to fit it will mean so much more to you in the long run
Elizabeth Stallings Agreed
Elizabeth Stallings
I am wearing an antique Ruby diamond and platinum rose cut ring that my jeweller reconsider was first cut around 1890-1915. I love my unusual trinity ring it certainly catches the eyes and light and I've had so many comments on it. Strangely enough today is 49 years since we became engaged with a ruby diamond cluster style ring but my husband bought me my ideal ring last year when I retired. If you want to use your grandmas ring use it if you feel the sentiment use the ring I passed my original ring on to my daughter and she gave our oldest grandson it when he told her he planned to propose. I offered to pay for restyling but she declined as she loved the design. To each THIER own.
Maree kettle That's an amazing story😁🙂
A real 50s housewife would have ironed that tablecloth 🤣
A lot of this is what MEN decided women SHOULD do. If you ask them, they will tell you the full truth. Jmo.
In the 1950's those phones were all black and good quality. They never broke! And we had no makeup brushes. Compacts or boxes of loose face powder had powder puffs. Coffee pots were not electric. The AM radio would be on. No ice makers, so empty ice trays into a bin and refill them with water. Be brace. I'm glad those days are over.
Yes to all of this! Except there were a few very specialized make-up brushes around. My mom would have used her own mascara wand that was dipped into a little pot of black/brown (her color) mascara. I'll ask her the next time I talk with her.
Don't worry about what is on that plug on the end of your princess phone! As long as you got it from the states, you're fine. The house that it used to be in just had the old fashioned outlet. A few years ago, I'd suggest going to radio shack, but that's out! lol! Rewiring it by cutting off just a tiny bit of the end of the wire and putting on the plug that you are used to seeing is simple with the correct tool. Local people with the correct skill sets to try are a local Maker Space, a local Electronics Club, or even a Ham Radio Club would have the right skill set. Good Luck with that. Too bad I can't just send you to the Phone Center Store at the mall! (The blue phone and the Princess phone were most likely 60s phones, but were still amazing quality. You had to rent, not but them).
Don't forget your iron! Your day look was totally adorable, but even when you first put it on, the skirt was wrinkled. Next time, especially with a cotton or cotton/polly fabric to go along with just your iron, buy a can of "magic sizing." Your grocery store has it. It will help give your 50s clothes that crisp look. (a slip will help too)
Yep, I currently own one of those black rotary phones I got from my grandmother. Still has a label on it with the warranty expiration from "Bell Systems" (old name for AT&T). A few years ago when we had digital home phone run into the house we hooked it up to the phone jack in the wall and was able to still receive calls on it clearly! It couldn't make calls though because the digital phone networks today can't read the analog pulse dialing that those phones used. I now have it sitting on my piano as a decorative piece since we canceled our home phone service.
we never actually had a phone, or a television for that matter! We didn't have bananas or mangoes either! We grew our own fruit and veg. but no imported fruit.
Her skirt is too short too. That would be the 60s not 50s!
If you had a phone, it was a good chance you had a party line. Here's hoping no one else was on!
Kathy Young all phones in the 1950's were NOT black. Color phones had been available since the late 1920's all though there did not start to become common until Western Electric started offering the 500 desk set in different colors in 1954
Keep the ring completely and put it on a rose gold thing
Josie Cooper ikkkkkkkk
I'm 19 and a pregnant housewife, and I honestly adore the life! Cleaning, cooking, and taking care of the house and my family. It's definitely every woman's choice to decide what she wants to do with her life, but I'm so happy with my choice
Back in the 50s nobody knew that cigarettes were bad for you so everybody smoked
To be fair, people say cigarettes weren't as bad then
They actually thought they were beneficial to health. Why? Because they calm you down in stressful times without altering you like alcohol does. Some Dr's even suggested their patients smoke cigarettes to help stress and anxiety.
To Meme or Not To Meme I think they add alot of icky things in it now like tar and nicotine
Kitty 10123 some people didn't smoke
My grandmother didn't She hated smoking even back in the 50's.

PART 2 WILL BE FILMED TOMORROW!! If you have any requests for the video let me know!! It will either be up later this week or next Monday!!💓💓
Sw
Make sure to get a hubby and nicer hair! (not that your hair isn't nice anyway but you know the 50s standard)
SweetEmelyne's yay I really liked this video
maybe do 50's makeup and hair, and definetly go out with the gloves and heels like you said! Maybe you could also (when you have free time) call a friend over to chat and have them join in with the "costume".... I feel like that would be cool... ANYWHO Love the video and your awesome lols
Please link the print out you used in the next video. Please
YOU WHOULD SOOOOO DO A SERIES!! LIKE LIVING LIKE THEY LIVED IN 1960's, 1970's, 1980's etc; I loved this!!!
Josie Michelle x Don’t forget 1990’s & early 2000’s era as well! 😊😋👍🏽
That phone is not creepy. We had a phone like that in our home. I miss the rotary dial. It just had a feel to it. I remember when the push button phones came out. We thought they were so modern..LOL
Tara Quinch They say it's creepy not because of the design but because it rings randomly. She has a video about it being haunted.
What time the phone ring??
Randomly? It's not in the video if that's what you're asking.
I think have Connor pick out a new ring so that you have a separate sentimental ring special from him. xoxo. (also love the idea of moving the center stone to a rose gold setting though) Love you
I like the idea of having something special form him, ahh it's so hard haha! love youuu! xoxo
SweetEmelyne's wear two rings lol
SweetEmelyne's move the diamond to a setting from Connor
Round 2 please!! Make it extra lol
haha okay! I would so enjoy that!
Yes yes yes !! ✨❤️
Do it. You did it so well.
Yasss 1960s maybe
Definitely!!
You have, like, my dream house! All the vintage and Nancy Drew! Oh, I love it all! Especially the teapots! I've always loved the 50's, all the music, and boy bands, and the retro feel. I just absolutely love it! Great video, too!
I used my grandmother's ring as my engagement AND wedding ring! It's so uniquely shaped, I didn't want to distract from it with a wedding band.
I was actually raised by my grandmother, so I love all this vintage stuff! I always tell people my brain in like 60 years older than the rest of me!
I will never be a housewife.
Adriana Galindo me neither lol
Adriana Galindo same I'm fucking lazy
Jasmine V
Its not that I wouldn't be a housewife because im lazy, it would be because I can't get married 😂
Kristin Mumme AHAHHA me too girl!
I'd love to be a housewife :P
This video heavily motivated me. Thank you.
Your house is so cute and pastel!
The idea of being a housewife seems so fun. Of course I'd love to work, and I don't think that a woman's job is taking care of her husband, but I LOVE spoiling people and cleaning.
Big mood
So the man's job isn't to take care of his wife, either. So why bother getting married.
same
Yes but by what your saying then a mans job wasnt' to take care and go work in mines and bring money and food on the table.What you say sounds like a man is lazy and had nothing to do just enjoy life It was not jobs like today but hard jobs.
Me too. Would love to work, but would also love to return back home to a loving man that I chose to be with and feel secure and safe with. Would love to be cooking nice foods for him and spoil him with homemade cupcakes every Sunday. I don't know if I'm old fashioned, but to get married to a loving, supportive, caring man is such a dream to me. And be a loving, caring and supportive wife too😊❤️
Hey, dont worry about responding to comments, if they get mad at you for it then they are just cruel and really dont care for you. So dont worry about it, you cant always make everyone happy!
Donelle FAith you are so right. You can't please everyone. There ae to many people who can take a nice video and turn it into a political event. The thing about the 50's and other time periods are, they all have their challenges but they were simpler also. People knew what was expected of them and to me that makes things easier. You showed that. It was a tiring day. She did work hard.
Why was the pupper scared? 😭
Wilbur has a brain disease called cerebellar degeneration. It affects a specific area of the brain which causes neurological symptoms in the dog. I've never talked about it but I've gotten so many questions about him on this video so I wanted to address it, he's not in pain. He's very happy but the disease causes him to have bad coordination and makes him shake
Oh gosh! I just know you talked about him not being able to jump over the bed and that he was scared so I didn't know if he was adjusting to the home or had an injury or what. Thanks so much for clarifying. Best wishes to you and little Wilbur.
Thank you💓💓
Aw, I love him. He's so cute! Bless him!
oh poor baby... at least he has you :)
Keep your grandmother's ring exactly as it is, just have is sized for you. That way no matter whether you use it as your engagement or get a new one from Connor, you always have that awesomeness from your G-ma, which I think is priceless. Workmanship was so different back then.
i was going to say, that's a very unique engagement ring. the navette style is an old European cut, and not common at all today. the setting is stunning, almost art deco with the surround! it'd be a shame if the ring was deconstructed in my opinion. ultimately, she'll do as she wants, but i'm always an advocate for certain antiques being left alone.
I’m a stay at home mom of 7 kids and 3 stepdaughters and grandmother of four grandchildren and yes we stay at home moms have a lot to do I’m still trying to get a routine down but I love how you have inspired me to look better for my husband and get more organized not just for my husband but for the kids too thank you for inspiring us Mother’s out there please keep doing videos of this ❤️
I think your grandma's ring is beautiful
I just posted another one of these videos!! This is a glamorous version of this one! Go watch it ♡♡ th-cam.com/video/-nFsRmcKn08/w-d-xo.html
SweetEmelyne's My name is Emmaline too! I thought I would never see anyone with the same name as me
Emmaline Hocker my names emmeline hehe
SweetEmelyne's you should take out the stone and put in on a rose gold setting
SweetEmelyne's cook XD
SweetEmelyne's you should sell me that phone so it can be with the rest of it's kind
Use a 1960s camera
Violet Powell they wouldn't be Adel to uplode it up to TH-cam
the unknown killer I said a camera. 1960s lense
Violet Powell I don't think you can record on those 🤔 plus, you can't upload the video to youtube.
Like Super 8?
Jenna Unity there could be a program on the computer
I know you are probably not reading comments on this video anymore, but I’ve been kind of using it as an inspiration to get up in the morning and clean and do my skincare routine and the like. I’m attending school right now but I have a lot of days off and am trying to live a worthwhile life and keep the house up in the meantime. I told my grandma i’m trying to follow a vintage routine in my days off and she finds it amazing because her mom, who was a young woman in the 1950s, had to work all the time at the phone company and never really had much time to do the full routine. She had to squeeze in cooking and cleaning on the weekends and share the meal making with her husband.
My husband said that if he made enough money to support me, him, and our daughter, he wouldn't want me to work
And honestly that sounds great, I love this lifestyle!!! Plus I *love* cleaning and cooking
Agreed!!
Micki Babe why ? So you can be seen as a slave ? a cook a cleaner and a birthing machine?? no way your be treated like a thing pffft
Cloudy with a chance of meatballs she said that she loves this lifestyle, and it's her choice if she wants to live like this.
You do you, girl!
1) It's her choice of lifestyle and 2) modern housewives often have their own professional businesses (blogging/designing/graphic designer/photographer/freelancer) so there is still professional independance if a woman wants that
Emelyne loved this video! I wish I lived during the 50's. Being a housewife is a beautiful role. So many people nowadays view it negatively, linking it to slavery. But, as long as it's a mutual agreement, it's awesome. It's a job in and of itself that's worthy of dignity.
I love this comment so much!
Zandra N do we forget the 50s was still heavily segregated ? Why would you want to live in that era? Yikes you can still live like this in the modern slightly less racist world .
Zandra N do you remember what the 50's were like from history class?
Get ready to get education from internet people.
Zandra N mmhmm working all day sounds fun ashahssahhahahahahahahahhahahahahahahhahahaahahahhahahahhahhahahah
I don't think you should modify it, it messes up the meaning and originality to it. You should just get a new ring rather than change at all. It's just an opinion ,what ever You want to do is cool , it's your ring :)
I hope you enjoyed your experiment. It's funny to an old woman. Women of the 50s always wore dresses. Try 1930s next!
Didn't they wear jeans tp do some work? I would if I were cleaning house and such. Why mess up a nice dress?
I live like this everyday I’m only 29 and was taught by my grandmother 👍🏻 guess I’m old fashioned 🤣
TheMixdbeauty same but im 12
It’s hard work but rewarding. It helps to drink coffee, green tea, or take naps to keep your energy up 🌞
@@user-vm8tw6hz5z wait your 12 and mairred and have kids where's the fbi when you need them
Ive always wanted a record player
They still make them.
I feel so old right now....My first "record player" was the Fisher-price one, with the colorful plastic records. Then when I was about 7 or so, I got my older brother's record player because he bought a new 8-track player for himself. Damn, I feel so old right now....
I have one that looks like a the chrome front of a car :) It's my 2nd since my parents handed their collection/old player down to me.
Insane Mermaid until it starts playing backwards lol 😆
I got an old fashioned all in one stereo that records albums, cassettes, cds to a flash drive.
Hello from Montana, you sound so sweet. I grew up with a 50s mom. Its was nice, I do those things also for my husband.. it's okay, just be yourself. Have fun. Dont stress about others. Hugs
I wish I lived through the 1950's. I love the music, Hollywood personalities, the fashion, food, the cars, and simplicity of life. Life was so simple back then and people appreciated what they had. People were hospitable, genuine, and happy. A huge difference between then and now.
Agreed!!
Cathleen Levato I mean all of that is great, but there was also incredible amounts of racism. People often romanticize these time periods and it's important to acknowledge the very apparent issues then.
Anna and of course I completely understand and agree with what you said, which I why I didn't mention that in the things I loved about this decade. Each decade has its own problems and racism was 100% the issue in the 50s. But even thought the issue is terrible, there are many wonderful things that took place in the 50s :)
Cathleen Levato That was if you were an upper middle class 'white' male. Sorry, my impressions of the 50s stray far from yours.
I have to agree with the music though 🙂
Jane Austen Fantasies 05 not always upper class. My dad lived his childhood throughout the 50s and he said it was the best and happiest time of his life. And keep in mind my dad and his family were anything but upper class. People outside the upper classes found ways to have fun and make life great while also working to contribute to their families and to society. People appreciated life in the 20th century and I think that is why so many people had fun back then, regardless of class. My dad made sure I grew up on the amazing entertainment that he did and I'm very grateful that he did because today's entertainment is garbage lol. And of course you can't deny the racism and horrible treatment blacks throughout the 50s and 60s got, but you also can't deny the amazing advancements we made as a country in the 1950s, whether it be a technological or social advancement. 🙂
You should keep the ring but make it smaller
That is the exact music at Disney land and I just left Disneyland so I'm like WHATTTT I WANT YOU DISNEY LAND
Wilbur is so sweet! I’ve never seen a dog eat a banana
Mine do. I've met dogs that were ENAMORED with me because I was eating one on the street. They were 2 gorgeous Vizslas.
My lab also eats apples, oranges, melons, lettuce (with some dressing, lol) , bok choi, cauliflower, broccoli and pretty much what I'm eating. Carrots are also a hit and green beans.
Somethings are bad for dogs. You only want a tiny amount. Some dogs will puke either way. Think tip of your finger size. Not more. That's for a 50 pound small lab.
Labs will eat ANYTHING. I've had 2, lol.
Diamonds are never to big!
Omg the ring is gorgeouuuus !! Keep it all and have jeweller resize it. Keep all the stones as it is. It's beautifully vintage, and the sentimental value !
Like honestly it's just wow
She looks like an older version of Maddie Ziegler. No hate or anything negative :) I just saw a resemblance :)
The 1950s housewife NEVER paraded around her house, and in front of open windows, in short shorts and tank top. You would have been considered shockingly indecent! Lol.
Is it? I mean all the necessary bits are covered.
Big Man ah, the good old "boys can't control themselves" argument. Funny how you never hear anyone say that girls can't control themselves when men run around topless for whatever reason.
Big Man no it's not. your views are outdated.
they said "would have" not "are" and they're not wrong' either. It really would have been
Actually shorts were common as were tank tops in the summer and fall months. Especially in the house, no one would have judged a woman for what she was wearing as long as her lady parts were covered.
you should've invited a few kid relatives and cook like a real house wife
Couldnt agree with you more! I totally get what you say about not minding being a house wife/stay at home mom. I used to work like crazy all day for my career when I was younger. I am now married and I just had a baby and now I'm a stay at home mom and let me tell you- as hard as it was to work long hours everyday, it's just as hard if not just a bit harder staying at home. Not only do I have to maintain the house and cook dinner and stuff. I also have a baby that I have to take care of. And that alone is very time consuming. But at the same time, I enjoy it SO much! I love the feeling of a tiny little person being so dependent on me! It feels great to be able to love him and care for him! Plus I also love having everything clean and ready so when my hubby gets home, we can sit and relax and play with the baby. Then having dinner together and seeing how he enjoys my food and my hard work feels really nice too! So all in all, like you said there is nothing wrong with being a career woman or a housewife! I enjoyed being a career woman and I enjoy being a housewife now too! So to each his own! ❤️ great video Em!! Would love to see a part 2 but glam! 😁💍💅🏻💄👗👠
I think you should definitely make a rose gold ring with your grandmas ring. Take the smaller diamonds and wrap the, around the band and also make a matching wedding band with the smaller diamonds and have the solitaire diamond in the middle
Being a housewife is all I ever dreamed of when I was a little girl and I sill think ab it all the time! Great video! I watched the entire thing!
Be careful. Look how many women get royally screwed over for that when they divorce. Always have your own money nobody knows about. Have education or trade skills. Women are in high demand in the trades.
I love your grandma's ring, it's so beautiful, but I think you should keep it the way it is and put it on a rose gold setting.
Ballet is my Passion Keep it original. More valuable and sentimental meaning if kept in original condition.
Your house is so nice!
I would get a new ring and keep the old one just to have for sentimental value, because it would probably be nice to be surprised. That is just my opinion, I hope it helps !
My mom did all this and I still do as well. I can bang out about 5 things before I even get in the shower. But women did not wash the floors every day, as neeeded. But they did not hang out in sweats all day, capri pants and a cute top and flats were the outfit of the day usually except dressing to go out. I always set the table, cloth napkins are easy with placemats, cook mostly from scratch, it's really not hard it you time manage. A crock pot does help, mom had a presser cooker.
Have you tried the newer pressure cookers? Same results, but a lot less terrifying! haha
My mum still uses her pressure cooker that she bought in 1973 when she moved to Australia. Bought it with her first pay check, and it works perfectly though we've had to change the rubber gaskets but thats normal.
I use the pressure cooker for beans and then measure and freeze. With a bit of corn (like a small slice of polenta) you have a complete protein. Gets rid of the leptins that hurt people's bellies.
Since you love the ring I suggest you keep it but on a rose gold setting. I would personally prefer to just take the center stone out. Although it isn't my grandma's so I would keep it if I were in your position.
I Think you should keep it as a memory from your grandma and get your own😊💗 like if agree or comment
The only thing she used that wasn't vintage was a camera
Not the makeup she's currently using?
And sugar In the raw lol
Her vacuum isn't
Her tea pot and bowls and cookware wasn't either
Her clothing wasn't actual vintage either.....
Man I love technology, but I would've loved to grow up in the 50s and 60s, without the racism, homophobia and sexism
Have you seen Absolute History, the deadly postwar home?
Hair should be up in a bun, French twist, chignon or something like that. Only young unmarried women would wear hair down with a ribbon in it like that. Wdit: I thought you were married but you did say 50s housewife.
well even then it wouldn't be so sloppy, but i'm sure she's just keeping to her style having her hair in her face. i also would've liked to have seen an updo, but if someone isn't practiced, it can be a bit difficult. it's funny because most people think that this was all these ladies did-but there was certainly much more! that being said, i did enjoy the video for what it was.
kim mcdonald that is the 60s, not 50s.
She IS a young unmarried woman
@@addicted367 then why trying housewife routine... I truly wish she would have pincurl it though
Use the diamond and get a setting and band that you think fits u bc I think if u got a newer setting and band that is more custom to you
Off with the smokers! Long live the lungs!
“Long live the lungs!” 😂 I love this
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE all the vintage items you have around the house. It's nice to see a "youngin' embracing the past.
I feel like I need to apologize for not liking Christmas music.
keep the ring as it is :) if your fiance gives you the other ring have it as your everyday engagement ring and keep this one as a special one :) It is gorgeous and your children and grandchildren would love to see it too in its original form :) You are very lucky. Oh, fab video as well :)
This was a great idea!! I love it!!!
thanks Tori!! We need to hang out soon!
Trending With Tori hey that's my name tori 😂
Think about it...
They must of been very lonely, being home almost all day, cleaning, cooking, and no one was home. Isnt that lonely and kind sad, cause they did that EVERYDAY
That did go out and had friends/neighbors over. I'm sure they weren't super lonely. Some were probably lonely than others though.
I do it everyday and I’m happy and I don’t really use my phone because my husband can’t talk at work anyway. It’s nice having my time to myself all day.
Let Conner surprise you! You should keep your grandma's and let Conner surprise you!
That ring is beautiful!!! I dont think its too "blingy" for you at all! But would definitely look even better on rose gold!
I went to camp and had to go a week without my phone it was extremely easy, but probably because there was exciting stuff to do.😜👍🏻
O.O I JUST REALIZED WE HAVE THE EXACT SAME SET OF SILVERWARE... Like, I KNOW that fork... My mom's had that set since the 80's or before.
My grandma gave me her ring for my wedding ring, I did a new setting but kept the center stone and I highly recommend it, so I have some of her with me but it made it my own!
Hey, it fits the "something old, something new" wedding tradition that way! (:
