LOH 104 : The Common Changes.
I'm lucky I got to find my niche in the question set by @joanstewart in the @ladiesofhive community. I almost gave up because forty years from now, where on earth was I? Maybe in the void haha waiting on dad to hold on to mom....pfft...scratch that thanks Joan for making these questions get to everyone in their respective age box.
I can't tell a lot about what has happened but I am sure to narrate changes that occurred twenty years ago both in the society back then and concerning me.
If I should say thirty years ago then I must be a year old, so let's say twenty years ago. As a child, I always watched my mom doing chores, cooking, nurturing kids, doing laundry, cleaning and going to the market, and running some errands for dad.
Back then, it was seen as a woman's mandatory duties at home, and most fulfilled them else she would be tagged a disobedient wife or sent home packing to her parent's abode which meant that she was not eligible a trained housewife. Not only that my mom was brought in as a housewife but she was compelled to not talk in the presence of men as it is deemed disrespectful and unequal to speak based on gender/inferiority imposed by them. If she has something vital to share, permissions must be granted before she can be offered a hearing that's how I grew.
Once my dad is back from work or a meeting, she quickly dishes out his meal and serves him appropriately and whenever I try to compare and contrast the difference between now and then, I still choose mom's time because ethics, morals, and virtues are valued and honored. In essence, where this narration diverges is that in this 21st-century morals and virtues are no longer implemented/valued/respected rather it's a preference based on choice/circumstances. It's termed " archaic " and the terminologies used to classify this is " modernization "
what changed here is the ethics, virtues, and custom.
Back then, when everyone didn't have a mobile phone number to make calls to their loved ones, friends, and family. I think there was the use of landline communication at that time but its usefulness was about wearing off and the introduction of mobile phones gradually sprouted up. One would need to walk down the street to a call center and make calls, they are charged twenty cents per minute.
I used to always make calls to my aunts and one thing I sort of disliked about that was the lack of privacy and the invasion of third parties may be from other folks in cue waiting for their turn. It's more like a phone booth but the difference is that there's a person who's in charge of collecting payments as the caller returns the phone...(manual method). As of today, those mini phone booths are nowhere to be found anymore, thanks to the advancement and availability of technology that mobile phones have reached everyone. So since everyone has a phone and loads voucher cards, is there any availability of opening a mini phone booth?... Nope!
what changed here is the advancement in phone technology and its wide availability of it ... It's no longer common.
Back in those days, everyone relied upon office jobs (9-5), you had to wake up in the morning and get to work with no excuses because that's how money was made roughly. There was no availability of online jobs or remote control jobs or better still freelancing jobs, then it was tough!
But luckily as society began exploring different dimensions the need to develop online jobs became necessary, the need to acquire a remote control job became necessary, and then the world's most paying jobs are now online jobs where one can be in the comfort of his/her home and work effectively...now folks have the right to make a choice either working from home or walk-in office, people can now choose freelancing jobs than a full-time employee.
what changed is the modernization of the employment system for the advantage of the societies.

Alot of things have really changed. Talking of the ethics that wives have years back, its not applicable by most nowadays. Most women don't respect/value their husbands like women do years ago, and as you said, they will just term it modernization of the society.
I respect your opinion which turns out to be a reality that we always wondered how we got to it but I know for sure that there are respectable women too out there who still have their morals intact and I hope they help teach other who thinks it's modernization the real ethics.
Thanks for stopping by neckky
Alright 🤗🤗
Yup...
Hy friend you said a lot of things that is also happening even in our current society now. I am glad you didn't give up. It basically calls for the need to consider gender equality as a law.
I understand your plight but I know this gender equality you speak of takes time to be implemented as the society grows everyday. And at same time some will use this as an advantage to be rude and senseless so it's best applied with wisdom.
Thanks for stopping by dearest.
You just mentioned some of the changes. I also remember back then, it was hard to contact our father who was on his duty in a faraway place whenever there was something emergency happens at home..at least now, we already have phones to contact anyone, even abroad.
That's absolutely correct..hehe...at least you understand those days as it was very difficult to contact anyone faraway from home... thanks to advanced technology for creating awareness and availability at every inch in time.... I appreciate your sweet comment..
You are right, some people though that those ethics are archaic but personally, I still maintain that standard even in this changing world. I feel that my husband deserve all the respect from me and those morals, I should maintain

Respect and morals should be maintained within every society, one always has to keep in mind respect is earned.
Technology is a great tool making life easier, cannot compete with a simple hug or quick cup of coffee with friend, finding balance using both old and new.
You have said it all ma'am, respect should be definitely earned and it should be also reciprocated. Thanks for stopping by!
Have yourself a wonderful weekend, reciprocating respect is not always a given it is a lovely feeling when encountered as mutual respect.
Yay! 🤗
