Dunno what the wife did most of the day (although the kids grew up pretty fine), but when you've had no sleep, worked a long day, done the shopping on the way home & cooked dinner, bathed babies etc and tried to keep up with your sport I have to admit the dryer was a little luxury occasionally at the time. Could have done without it just the same.
