the thread of "Do you take care of it all" reminded me of something I had read long ago..I searched and here it is....

"I Want A Wife"
By Judy Syfers
I belong to that classification of people known as wives. I am A Wife.
And, not altogether incidentally, I am a mother.

Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh
from a recent divorce. He had one child, who is, of course, with his
ex-wife. He is looking for another wife. As I thought about him while
I was ironing one evening, it suddenly occurred to me that I too, would
like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife?

I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically
independent, support myself, and if need be, support those dependent
upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while
I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want
a wife a wife to keep track of the children's doctor and dentist
appointments. And to keep track of mine, too. I want a wife to make
sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who
will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife
who is a good nurturing attendant to my children, who arranges for
their schooling, makes sure that they have an adequate social life
with their peers, takes them to the park, the zoo, etc. I want a wife
who takes care of the children when they are sick, a wife who arranges
to be around when the children need special care, because, of course,
I cannot miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at
work and not lose the job. It may mean a small cut in my wife's income
from time to time, but I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say,
my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while my
wife is working.

I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife
who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after my
children, a wife who will pick up after me. I want a wife who will
keep my clothes clean, ironed, mended, replaced when need be, and who
will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place
so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who
cooks the meals, a wife who is a good cook. I want a wife who will
plan the menus, do the necessary grocery shopping, prepare the meals,
serve them pleasantly, and then do the cleaning up while I do my
studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and
sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to
go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue
care for me and my when I need a rest and change of scene.

I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a
wife's duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the
need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my
course of studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me
when I have written them.

I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life.
When my wife and I are invited out by my friends, I want a wife who
take care of the baby-sitting arrangements. When I meet people at
school that I like and want to entertain, I want a wife who will have
the house clean, will prepare a special meal, serve it to me and my
friends, and not interrupt when I talk about things that interest me
and my friends. I want a wife who will have arranged that the children
are fed and ready for bed before my guests arrive so that the children
do not bother us. I want a wife who takes care of the needs of my
quests so that they feel comfortable, who makes sure that they have an
ashtray, that they are passed the hors d'oeuvres, that they are
offered a second helping of the food, that their wine glasses are
replenished when necessary, that their coffee is served to them as
they like it. And I want a wife who knows that sometimes I need a
night out by myself.

I want a wife who is sensitive to my sexual needs, a wife who makes
love passionately and eagerly when I feel like it, a wife who makes
sure that I am satisfied. And, of course, I want a wife who will not
demand sexual attention when I am not in the mood for it. I want a
wife who assumes the complete responsibility for birth control,
because I do not want more children. I want a wife who will remain
sexually faithful to me so that I do not have to clutter up my
intellectual life with jealousies. And I want a wife who understands
that my sexual needs may entail more than strict adherence to
monogamy. I must, after all, be able to relate to people as fully as
possible.

If, by chance, I find another person more suitable as a wife than the
wife I already have, I want the liberty to replace my present wife
with another one. Naturally, I will expect a fresh, new life; my wife
will take the children and be solely responsible for them so that I am
left free.

When I am through with school and have a job, I want my wife to quit
working and remain at home so that my wife can more fully and
completely take care of a wife's duties.

My God, who wouldn't want a wife?
