I need a wife.
This is the only conclusion I could come to after much contemplation {and beer}.
I am not domesticated. AT.ALL.
I hate cleaning...the house looks good but don't open a closet.
I hate cooking...most of my meals come in a box
I hate laundry...again, don't open the closet door
I hate the 'wife' expectations.
I work longer hours than Mr. Wonderful. He gets home from work earlier than me 80% of the time. He sits on the couch surfing Craigs List looking for the perfect Suburban for the motor sitting in my shed. The Kid is eating cookies and watching cartoons.
I am expected to start dinner, tidy up, prepare lunches/backpacks, serve dinner, clean up after dinner, bath the child, get him ready for bed, read bedtime stories etc. Then I have to take care of the household running- paying bills and whatever else comes up.
Mr. Wonderful goes back to surfing Craigs List.
I need someone who LIKES to do all that stuff so *I* can sit on the couch and surf the internet too. I would do all the fun things like playing with my kid. I might even have the time and energy to shave my legs, wax my eyebrows and shower.
Hubby appears to like the idea too as he seems to think he might get sex on a more regular basis from someone who might actually be awake. :)
I would have someone to girl-talk with. Sitting on the couch in the clean living room, drinking tea and chatting late into the evening.
I'm not the jealous type. I could handle it. I would embrace it.
Now where would I find such a wondeful woman? And how would I have to pay her?

I can only think of one lady... Alice.
ReplyDeleteOr you could try a Russian Mail-order Bride.
When you find out where to get one be sure to share on here. I need one too because you just described my house. Take out the craigslist and add in a playstation 3.
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate! The boyfriend is home an hour before me and used to start dinner...but lately has decided to go on strike without warning! How rude!!!
ReplyDeleteThe role of "the wife" should totally change now that we are all working wives/spouses...but sadly the mentality for men hasn't.
Seriously, sometimes polygamy doesn't sound bad at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I want one too! Let me know what you find out, k?
ReplyDeleteI recently had this discussion with dh after watching Big Love. I think I'm ready to bring on a sister wife. On second thought, maybe just a live in maid in exchange for room & board.
