More Than They Can Do

"All women have more than they can do because they take on more than they have strength for. A woman did not (in the old days) paint her kitchen, wash the car, drive the children to school, weed the lawn, pay the bills, worry about budgeting and insurance. Her husband did these things or hired someone."

From "Dear Fellow Housewives," Heloise's Houskeeping Hints by Heloise, 1962
