I Want a Wife Too

I want a wife too! Over thirty years ago, women took care of almost all the household and marital responsibilities. Women were to cook, clean, work and raise a family all without complaining. No wonder a wife would want another wife around the house. In 1970, Judy Brady wrote “I want a Wife”, explaining why some women would want a wife of their own. She goes on to explain why she wants a wife. She wants …

…their thinking. I am trying to set a good example for my children by giving them chores to do. Not just garbage for the boys, but dishes, laundry, and house cleaning. My daughter also has the pleasure in taking out the trash. Splitting the marital responsibilities is hopefully in the near future for all of us over-worked women. Maybe in another thirty years women won’t have to wish for a wife of their own.
