I just started a new job last week (yay!) but my life just got 30 hours busier, but I'm okay with that. Needless to say, it has really got me thinking about how nice it would be to have just a little bit of help, because I am not trying to be Super-Woman keeping up with the same amount of housework as before.
I would love to be a sister wife because....
....I would come home from work to dinner on the table
....I could continue to work without so much guilt of being a working mother
....there's always laundry to be done
....because my sister wife would love mopping floors (or else!)
....I wouldn't have to arrange for child-care for Michael
....less RAKs for me!
Someday, when I'm filthy rich, rolling around in my dollar bills, I'll just hire a housekeeper.
PostScript-I have yet to do one thing on my list, but unbeknownst to him, Richard did! Thanks hun, you're the best.
Wealthy people just hire someone to do all the work that sucks ;) We po folks gotta do all the work ourselves.
ReplyDeletedid you really just say less RAKs for you? hilarious. I could get behind having a sister wife to help with the childrens and cleaning and cooking but I am not sharing my man.
ReplyDeletep.s. What is your new job?
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! So...less RAKs is a plus for you, hm? LOL! I have a friend who got to decide between getting a massage or having someone come clean her house. She chose the house cleaning and loved it so much, she decided to go for it once a month! sister wife once a month, without all the potential hassle. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat's your new job?
I'm training to be a vision therapist at an optometry office. Google it. It's neat stuff, and I feel like I'm at school again with all this training.
ReplyDeleteSo on second thought, maybe my rak comment was a little extreme. But oh well, it's out there--sprinkle it with a sense of humor and don't judge. :)
Cool job; I love learning new things and that's cool that they train you (while paying you??) I recently read an article w/ comments about whether you would hire help and if so, feel embarrassed or not to admit it. Interesting read. But I've learned I'm waaaaay to territorial for anyone else in my kitchen. My poor mom has learned that the hard way; when she's her I'm constantly having to hold my tongue and just let her clean.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the new job! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteI used to watch the show Sister Wives, I am not embarrassed to admit I was tad obsessed with their lives...how did they make it work? Etc. BUT I cant wrap my mind around EVER sharing my husband. Sorry ladies, the boy is mine. I "sealed" that deal. Ha! I'm with Angela about being territorial, crazily so (read my post and you'll know why). But I would hire someone to come clean my toilets and bathtubs once a week (those are my nemesis).
Angela, good to know that you are territorial, too. I am definitely that way in my own kitchen when my mom comes to town.
ReplyDeleteSister Wives, oh boy. I only saw them on Oprah once. What a mess. Especially that dude's hair. Ugh.
I love reading all of your comments and posts. I would have a hard time with a sister wife. I am a little territorial too even within my own household. I get so used to cleaning things my way (i.e. how I vacuum the rug, the order that I wash the dishes in, my method for laundry day, etc.) that when Jens does have time to help and he doesn't do it the "right way" a.k.a. the way I always do it, then I have to force myself to take a deep breath and resist the urge to fix what he just did. That being said, I wouldn't put up a fight if I had a sister wife whose sole job was to do the dishes. I think they have those- they're called dishwashers. I just don't have one. Yet.
