NINE POINTS OF GOOD HUSBANDRY.
1.

Do not take the children's part against her, but let them realize that you and she are one in your joint care of them. 5. Take her into your confidence, and do not try to bear burdens alone. 6. If she is in trouble, do not pooh-pooh, but let her feel your sympathy. 7. Do not criticise her before strangers. 8. Be always polite to her. 9.
