Ah yes, a mother to snoop into your private drawers, trying to find embarrassing or personal items, re-arrange all your things so you can't find them and you can't function. A mother to judge you, and covertly shame you, insinuating that you are dirty, lazy, and uncaring. A mother to tell you your life decisions aren't good enough. A mother to hold her "selfless" servitude over your head to use as currency to control and manipulate you with later. They make manipulative, gossiping, controlling mothers look cute on Rhoda, but trust me, it ain't cute in real life. I'd rather just do my own laundry. It's much less of a heavy load. Be careful what you wish for.

I asked my mom, a young teenager during WWII, what the Hut Sut Song is. She sang a little bit of it which prompted me to pull it up on KZfaq. Now I can appreciate Rhoda's comment (21:38) about Ida having danced to it when she was a sweet young thing. The song reached #3 on the charts in 1941 when it was released. I had two good friends in HS who were about Ida's size. They used to do the Lollipop Guild song and dance from "The Wizard of Oz" and it never failed to crack up everyone who saw it. Useless trivia, I know, but Ida always makes me think of those two precious girls who both died way too soon. She also reminds me of my late grandmother. Tiny, stubborn and very determined.

Hilarious. So funny when Brenda said her mom cleaned her lightbulb and peephole. Rhoda acts like she is a whiz at her job, but she must have gone out of business because she later works for Jack. I thought Ida was sweet, I never understood why Brenda and Rhoda had such ill feelings toward her. It was a great thing for Ida to be a candystriper. I always thought those striped pinafores were cute. Alot of housewives and retired women in cities did volunteer work, especially in the 1970s.

They did alot of shit work that was rarely appreciated, and for no pay. Ida could always get her GED.

As much as i love this show, I can't help thinking, that by 1974 or 5, when this show aired (and I watched every week) there was no way a little old white Jewish lady was gonna be riding the D train back to the Bronx late in the evening. And by this time, there were very few Jews left on the Grand Concourse anyway. There was a mass exodus in the late 60s and early 70s.

Ida is kind of a sh** disturber. She tries to undermine Rhoda's confidence in her marriage, get Joe to find fault with Rhoda as a wife, and criticize Brenda's housekeeping abilities. I just realized that Ida was not invited to Rhoda's bridal shower. Maybe the above are some of the reasons why. Her absence was never explained. Brenda did the invitations. Hmmm.
