Hi all - lurker here who enjoys this board. This prompted some interesting discussion on the other boards. I thought I would put it here - all about aprons. If you watch 50s TV, you would think an apron was mandatory with being a SAHM. But the apron does have some practical use. Here are some questions:
1) Do you ever wear an apron?
2) How often do you wear an apron? (once or twice a year, once a month, once a week, several times a week, everyday, all day)
3) Do you wear an apron with a bib or just around the waist?
4) Do you like a simple design apron or some nice pattern?
5) Do you wear an apron for anything besides cooking?
6) Do you feel wearing an apron is too much associated with the "June Cleaver" days?

1) Do you ever wear an apron?
Yes I definitely do!
2) How often do you wear an apron? (once or twice a year, once a month, once a week, several times a week, everyday, all day)
Every day practically, cooking dinner
3) Do you wear an apron with a bib or just around the waist?
A long bib apron
4) Do you like a simple design apron or some nice pattern?
Simple and plain, no frills, no fuss
5) Do you wear an apron for anything besides cooking?
Yep sure do! Washing dishes!
6) Do you feel wearing an apron is too much associated with the "June Cleaver" days?
At times I feel goofy wearing it, but during my pregnancies, I get clumsy and spill things on my clothes. Since then I wear an apron to protect my clothing. Washing dishes I tend to get a wet line across my midriff, so a bib apron helps to reduce that happening and soaking my clothes!
1) Yes I wear an apron
2) About once a month, but I'm starting to wear it more.
3) I have both styles. Most of the time I cook in my green solid apron with the bib. I do have a floral apron from the 70s that goes around my waist
4) I like both - simple designs and patterns. But green and floral are my favorites. I don't like the goofy sayings on an apron.
5) Yes - doing dishes
6) I used to think it was silly, but I dont wanna dirty my clothes - plus I worry about splattering something on my blouse or even making its way to my boobies.
1) Do you ever wear an apron?
well, i'd have to own one to wear one, so no!
2) How often do you wear an apron? (once or twice a year, once a month, once a week, several times a week, everyday, all day) the last time i wore an apron was about a year ago when i was having xrays for dental work, lol
3) Do you wear an apron with a bib or just around the waist? it was canvas and lead and went all the way up :)
4) Do you like a simple design apron or some nice pattern? i like the corny ones that guys barbeque in, that say like "kiss the cook", and especially the two that my dad has, one says "cat, the other white meat," and the other says "what part of 'it's not ready yet' don't you understand?" those are great.
5) Do you wear an apron for anything besides cooking? xrays, shop class in highschool, and lab in nursing school
6) Do you feel wearing an apron is too much associated with the "June Cleaver" days? it's before my time, so i can't really say, lol
clarity
Yes, I do
2) How often do you wear an apron? (once or twice a year, once a month, once a week, several times a week, everyday, all day)
Everyday
3) Do you wear an apron with a bib or just around the waist?
Bib, otherwise I have clean pants but handprints on my top (you get used to having the bib to dry your hands on...)
4) Do you like a simple design apron or some nice pattern?
Simple design, but I sew mine and use funky material--my favorite has multicolored interlocking frogs on it :)
5) Do you wear an apron for anything besides cooking?
cleaning, doing dishes, and giving the twins a bath (The splash. A lot.)
6) Do you feel wearing an apron is too much associated with the "June Cleaver" days?
Certainly not my froggy one, but if you're wearing a starched white one with ruffles than you ironed, or if you're even entertaining thoughts of putting on heels or pearls to vacuum the living room, then please lay off Nick at Night and seek help.
