I love your 50’s housewife videos! I never understand why people look down on the role of a housewife as degrading. You gave us a great perspective on life back then. It takes a lot of work to keep a household together and stay at home wives/mothers have so much responsibility! I’m a full-time working wife/mother and I honestly think my days off at home with the kids are even harder than my days at work.

[@meganelizabeth772]

My husband runs a business and he has to take over on days when I have had seizures or get sick and he told me he didn't know how much it took to actually do what I do to run the house and that he would help out more. And he has since he told me that 🥰

[@Cathy_fifties]

I love the 1950's as well and I too don't understand why women look down on the role of a housewife. I would love to go back in time and live that life again. I think it was such a beautiful time. I am a housewife now & I love what I do by taking care of my kids and husband and my dogs. I think of myself as a regular Donna Reed. :) Thank you Sage for your awesome videos I love them all. :). ox

Yeah my husband definitely couldn’t handle it if we switched places 😂

[@micheleohmer4117]

We are a family of 7 and I am a stay at home Mom. I love cooking from scratch, baking bread and living simply. I will never regret sharing so much time with my family vs building a career. No one I know who is retired, wishes they focused on an outside the home job more, it's always more time with the family. Your videos are so Joyful!

[@rebeccachambers419]

Oh Sage. Please don’t listen to that woman who made a comment about being a stay at home mother or wife or woman. Those types of comments come from women who do not understand what the women’s movement was all about and they’ve added an extra rule. The women’s movement was just about choice. A choice whether we wanted to stay at home or go out and getting a paid job. We have that choice now. I love being at home and cooking and cleaning. I love it!And nobody has the right to tell me that my choice is wrong. That just makes them wrong. I love your channel and what you were doing to bring back femininity.

[@6thgraderfriends]

It's ironically refreshing to hear someone around my same age say they want to be a mom. I swear I hear more and more people in their 20's insisting they won't ever become a parent and I feel a little weird about it.

[@kalliste01]

There have always been people that didn't want children, women now just have more of a choice about whether they have them or not. It's far better now where only people who want to have children have them. The choice really has nothing to do with anyone else and how they feel about it.

[@6thgraderfriends]

@@kalliste01 Oh yeah, it's way better when only people who want children have them, of course. It's just felt weird hearing someone else my age say it since everyone else I know don't want any.

[@CrankyGrandma]

As an old broad who now has grandkids- having kids is not something you will regret. Dang it all, it’s a superpower! We can grow humans inside our bodies. I don’t understand their negativity towards having kids. I grieve for those who want to but cannot.

Another lovely insight into your life, loved the bloopers at the end ! I like the fact that you don't push 'true vintage' as the only way forward. Very few of us can afford the price of 'true vintage' unless we are lucky enough to find something in a charity shop. Many, more modern items (which are plentiful in charity shops) can be made to look as though they are from older eras. I love James Stewart too ! X

[@SageLilleyman]

Thank you so much! 😊 I'm glad you enjoy the bloopers hehe :) Absolutely, it is just not realistic for everyone to pay a couple of hundred dollars per vintage item of clothing!

I know this is an old video, but like many, I’ve been binge-watching your channel recently after having a 2yo need a hospital stay and being pinned down while she slept. Thank you for doing “day” and “week in the life” type videos. My grandmother was a post-war bride, and she always said her stay-at-home days raising kids were her happiest. (She worked and was single during the war). So many women DID find fulfillment at home and wouldn’t have chosen it any other way. She is my inspiration to be a home maker myself (going on 6 years now with 4 great kids and hard-working husband - who, like many men of the 40’s, doesn’t love his career but loves his family and works for our benefit). And doing those videos I think gives more insights than just reading about it through modern critical lenses. Thanks for such an inspiring channel… I can’t wait to use so many of your tipd.

I know it's been awhile since you posted this video but wanted to say my mom was a sophomore in highschool in 1937. She taught herself to sew and in her sophomore year the home economics teacher in her very small home town could not sew. My mom at 16 taught the sewing segment that year. They made a house coat, aprons and a pair of shorts. She was an awesome seamstress and while I was growing up she sewed for the public. I was the best dressed girl in school and all my friends wanted my clothes. She made all my ball gowns too. I sew too but always judge my skills by my moms... and I never measure up!

I love your videos about being a 1950s housewife. Your hair, and outfits are so cute! You and I have similar interests. For instance, we both like eras from the Edwardian era to the 1950s. My favourite era is the 1920s! Ever since I saw the Miss Fisher Murder Mysteries, I was hooked! My next fave era is the 1940s, because that's when my Mom was growing up. She has told me so many stories about when the war was going on, and how her life was during the dirty thirties, and the 1940s. (Mom was born in 1932) I love music from the 20s to the 40s, and I just love Big Band music! I'm glad that you like Fred Astaire, as he is my favorite, too. He danced so divinely!

I've always been very work driven woman, now that I'm 32yo I've worked already for 17 years from my life. I've always had the fantasy that I could be a housewife since I Love homemaking, but I've always had the feeling that I'm not allowed to ssy that out loud, especially here in Finlabd where equality is a huge subject. But as I've got More years and especially getting married reacently I've been thinking that how Come I'm shamed to have these dreams. How Can it be, that in these times when women Can do anything it's a bad thing to wish to be a housewife. I Can understand if there are negative sides to it, such as domestic abuse or the "White pride" ideology, those are never ok.

Most of my cloths are from the 70's but some are 70's inspired. I am into more of a formal look/ over 30 looks, from these eras. I don't like hippie cloth. It is all over the place gives off an air that you don't give a toss. I also had decorations my house with a mid century modern look. Over time I plan on renovating it and putting back some of the late 60's look that it would have. The previous owners have given it a late 90s early 2000s look.

In Canada we have college where you get a diploma, is more experience and skill oriented.Things like graphic design or art for business/advertisement, therapy,ems, hair dressing and hands on type things.University is for a degree and is more information based learning (recently they've tried to incorporate more experience,but this and past year everything's been online). Things like the bachelor of fine art,law school, certain versions of engineering etc.Both have architecture, nursing usually starts in college 2 years, finishes 2 in university,or does all 4 university.So a little bit of an idea 😉.In the U.S.A.-they have community college and state colleges/university.Community versions usually function to help get into further state version stepping block, aren't job accredited for many purposes, and things like regular nursing might for example, could get u a bit of a job locally in your state depending on what they recognize but to be fully accredited u definitely need to go on to a state recognized university, especially for Registered Nursing (office paperwork.I don't know if you call that R.N. where u are?). I happen to think the 'engagement dress'from a scene in high society, played by Grace Kelly would make for an attractive modern interpretation. I really think women in the 50's had a lot of leeway,were active in meetings for charity, which is easy to not have time for when everybody works the office job.Forcing women out of the home when it's not their choice of preference really takes away their rights.So if it works in your favor (and your family 😊), good for you!! more power to ya.
