They had the best living conditions, as you can imagine. 
Most of the time they would be out of the house all day, leaving their servants, cooks and maids to help prepare dinner for when they come back.
Rich people during the Victorian Era did not need to work because they had all the money they needed, so they could do whatever they wanted in life.
They  could also afford to buy new inventions coming out, like the telephone, the gramophone and electric light bulbs.]]> 2019-10-10 12:05:47 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396087205 monica_mijatovic https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396097014 Since they didn't have to work, during the day they usually went to social events or parties. The etiquette expected them to be true gentlemans. To act like one you needed to be thoughtful of the comfort and happiness of others without thinking of yourself and your appearance; tell short stories, do not interrupt the others and show interest in what they are saying; keep a smiling face and show attention to the elders. ]]> 2019-10-10 12:25:54 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396097014 monica_mijatovic https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396115577 Their goal in life was to marry, have children and raise them in a rispectful manner. 
The role of devoted wife and mother was the main ideal in Victorian Era. Women didn't help with the running of their home and this left them with plenty of time to enjoy the finer things in life. Dancing and grand social parties where commonplace during their day and offered them a chance to mingle with other women. However they had to remember certain unspoken rules of etiquette so they didn't come across as vulgar, like with whom they were allowed to walk and what kind of jewellery they were wearing.]]> 2019-10-10 12:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396115577 monica_mijatovic https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396123093 They spent most of their time with their nannies, who would be their teacher and look after them when they were sick. They usually didn't spend much time with their parents until they were at an age where they could go out on their own and attend social event. Girls played with dolls and tea sets whilst boys played with toy soldiers and marbles. 
They had rocking horses with real horse hair manes, and dolls houses full of beautiful miniature furniture.]]> 2019-10-10 13:08:49 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396123093 monica_mijatovic https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396131351 Men's fashion: they had only one type of dress code because after Queen Victoria's husband died, she was so depressed that everything she wore happened to be black. Out of respect men's outfits were black. They cosisted of a tall black hat, a tight blackish vest and a long slim coat, trousers were long and black, the shoes were of a shiny black.
Women fashion: they wore dresses of all sorts, most dress codes consisted of a white blouse underneath a puffy dress of any colour. Sometimes on winter days they wore black leather glothes. A hat with patterns and flowers was usally worn. 
None of them went out without accessories.]]> 2019-10-10 13:21:06 UTC https://padlet.com/monica_mijatovic/vevwfj8zsiv2/wish/396131351
