Blog on Why I want a Wife

"Why I Want a Wife" by Judy Brady makes me upset and it makes me never want to become a wife that has all of these responsibilities. First of all I believe that a marriage is a partenership and that the husband would split the duties such as time with the children, arranging the appointments, taking nights off, etc. with the wife and she would get all the pleasures that he does. I also believe that in a marriage you are committed for life and it is your responsibility that you promised in the wedding vows to take care of your offspring and remain faithful to your spouse. Sometimes when you get frustrated it might be nice to imagine just finding someone new and start your brand new life with them leaving everything behind but in all actuality leaving the past behind is impossible. Also every woman I feel is entitled to a great education and a career so, yes the wife would probably find day care for the children but when they're sick or have appointment and practices the husband and wife would take turns in getting them there or helping them. In organizing social events if it is the husbands event he can make the arrangements and the wife can make her own. Now not all these rules are so definied there may be times when the husband needs to help the wife and vice versa but that is what a marriage is helping eachother in times of need. On the other hand I completely understand why Judy Brady wrote this essay. It would be so nice for someone to take all this time to do and organize everything in your life for you. You would have nothing to worry about and life would be easy. However, you would not actually be living your life then and really not being involved with your family at all probably means you shouldn't have one. So having a wife to do everything for you would be nice but I'm really sorry thats probably not going to happen.
