I have no problem failing this test. Rambling Mom is the model of a 1930s housewife compared to me!

9 As a 1930s wife, I am |
Of course I wear pajamas instead of a nightgown AND cook in said pajamas. And no, I don’t sew on buttons or repair holes in socks. Also don’t wear curlers to bed or…well…you get the picture!
Trees & Flowers & Birds! 
I scored fairly high, but I think I was too literal. No, I never wear ragged dresses and aprons around the house. I wear ragged sweats and T-shirts around the house!

Chiming in as another very poor 1930s housewife. I think I make a very poor anytime housewife.

I’m not even gonna take the test, because I can tell you, if they had one for the 1930s husband, that’s the one I’d do well on. I work full-time, my husband is a stay-at-home dad. He used to make all the meals, too, but he got burned out. I wonder how he’d score. Not so well. He doesn’t do curlers either.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I scored a 10. It makes me feel SO much better to find somebody who scored worse than me!
p.s. I think this quiz considers it a PLUS if you don’t wear curlers to bed!

I quite admire you for being such a terrible 1930’s housewife.
Is that when they used to wear bobby socks?

Yes, one of the tricks of 30’s housewifery was not ever, ever, ever appearing shlubby in front of your husband, even if he was asleep. Curlers were for when you were at home by yourself.
I actually did quite well on the test… But I think it probably gives things like “being interested in educational and cultural activities too much weight.” If it knew just how far I was from “keeping a tidy house” it would have failed me immediately. 🙂
