How to be a Good Wife translated for the modern D/s relationship



I found this a couple of weeks ago. Although the actual article may be a fake according to Snopes, the content is not terribly out of line with a 1950s household. As it was, it of course ruffled my feminist femdomme feathers, but then I realized I liked it a lot better when I slightly edited it to how I like a slave to treat me as his Mistress.

* Have dinner ready. Plan ahead, even the night before, to have a delicious meal ready on time for Her return. This is a way of letting Her know that you have be thinking about Her and are concerned about Her needs. Mistresses are hungry when They get home and the prospect of a good meal is part of the warm welcome needed.
* Prepare yourself. Take 15 minutes to rest so you'll be refreshed when She arrives. Touch up your make-up, put a ribbon in your hair and be fresh-looking. She has just been with a lot of work-weary people.
* Be a little gay and a little more interesting for Her. Her boring day may need a lift and one of your duties is to provide it.
* Clear away the clutter. Make one last trip through the main part of the house just before your Mistress arrives. Run a dustcloth over the tables.
* During the cooler months of the year you should prepare and light a fire for Her to unwind by. Your Mistress will feel She has reached a haven of rest and order, and it will give you a lift too. After all, catering to Her comfort will provide you with immense personal satisfaction.
* Minimize all noise. At the time of Her arrival, eliminate all noise of the washer, dryer or vacuum.
* Be happy to see Her.
* Greet Her with a warm smile and show sincerity in your desire to please Her.
* Listen to Her. You may have a dozen important things to tell Her, but the moment of Her arrival is not the time. Let Her talk first - remember, Her topics of conversation are more important than yours.
* Don't greet Her with complaints and problems.
* Don't complain if She's late for dinner or even if She stays out all night. Count this as minor compared to what She might have gone through at work.
* Make Her comfortable. Have Her lean back in a comfortable chair or lie Her down in the bedroom. Have a cool or warm drink ready for Her.
* Arrange Her pillow and offer to take off Her shoes. Speak in a low, soothing and pleasant voice.
* Don't ask Her questions about Her actions or question Her judgment or integrity. Remember, She is the Mistress of the house and as such will always exercise Her will with fairness and truthfulness. You have no right to question Her.

And finally:
* A good slave always knows his place.
