For my birthday gift every year, I ask my husband to bring me a wife. Not for him, but for me. Someone to do my laundry, make my dinner, pay my bills and deal with the kids. Someone who buys clothes I like ( in the right size!) and won’t complain if something she purchased needs to be returned.

I would love to have my own wife. Alas, after 23 years of wedded bliss, my yearly request still ticks him off.

They “caution” in Great Britain, Phil. In America, we “mirandize.”

and I sure do like having a wife
It just sounded so politically incorrect.
Like saying I sure do like having a slave.

Ardis P has not been the nicest person. Will she be cautioned as well?

AspieMom, anything to keep Tracy’s life from being made more difficult than it needs to be!

This post has been tickling a memory, and I finally realized what it was. Long ago, when I seemed to be the only woman in my ward who had to work, and definitely the only one who had to walk a long uphill mile to get home after spending what seemed like my entire 40s sitting in a hot bus on I-15, my visiting teachers were watching for me and pulled me into one of their homes, where they had soft music playing, and dinner waiting, and all their kids and husbands tucked away at somebody else’s house. It was one of the nicest surprises I’d ever had.

I spoiled it, though, by saying as I left an hour later, knowing I didn’t have to touch the sinkful of dirty dishes, that “I needed to get me a wife.” I think they thought I was serious.

Ardis, I don’t know you, but I really enjoy what you have to say!

Brad and Scott B, THANK YOU!!!!! I love reading opinions from every side of an issue, but I do not like personal attacks.
And one more thing, anyone who read the entire post would have learned that Tracy and her husband share the house work. Marriage is not 50/50, its 80/80 at least. It takes both partners giving more than half.

Ardis is not a perma blogger. I am. And, yes, I am not the nicest person on this board. Especially to jerkwads who make the kind of rubbish insinuations toward Tracy of which you are guilty here.

Ardis, I heart you with all my mind and strength.

If I thought Mr. Miranda was sincere, I’d say let him continue blathering like a know-nothing (I’ve always believed that usually the best punishment for an ignorant fiend is to simply let his own words stand as a public accusation against him). That said, I’m actually convinced that he is a feminist troll who spends his time writing comments that try to make non-feminists look like stupid, self-aggrandizing, self-righteous, judgmental, incompetent, blithering jackasses.

That is all.

Scott B:
This doesn’t ahve to be put on the blog but if you reprimand posters you should also reprimand perma bloggers when they get out of line. Is Ardis a perma blogger?
