In my quest for a more harmonious household, I’ve come to the whimsical conclusion that having a sister wife could be downright amazing. Picture this: a partner who resides with us, sharing the load of cooking, cleaning, and even reminding us of what our husband said during those not-so-pleasant discussions. Yes, please!
However, I understand that finding the right fit requires someone with very distinct qualities. Here’s a fun list of the traits I envision in my ideal sister wife:
- Down-to-Earth Looks: Let’s be honest, you can’t be a supermodel. A more rugged appearance would be just fine—think facial hair or a couple of quirky moles. My husband should still view me as the most attractive one in the house.
- Asexual Vibes: To keep things uncomplicated, let’s take romance off the table altogether.
- No Baby Fever: I already have my hands full with my kids. Trust me, they’re more than enough!
- Kid-Loving Spirit: You need to adore my children as much as I do, willing to roll around on the floor and engage with them, even if it means enduring their never-ending Minecraft narrations.
- Wine-Not: You won’t judge my pre-5 PM (okay, maybe even morning) glass of wine. Just kidding…sort of.
- Master of Child Negotiation: Get ready for trick questions from the little ones; saying “blue blanket” will earn you a swift “nope, green it is!”
- Sleep is Optional: If you think sleep is for the weak, you’re already winning.
- Appreciation for Irony: Expect the unexpected, like the child who suddenly becomes a bed-wetter right after you’ve washed their sheets.
- Messy Joy: You’ll find delight in cleaning off sticky hands from walls and teaching kids to use forks, even while they’re throwing tantrums.
- Dinner Dynamo: If you love whipping up meals, you’ll fit right in—because dinner is non-negotiable in this household.
- Thick Skin: Your culinary efforts might not always be appreciated, and that’s just part of the gig.
- Storytime Enthusiast: If you can read “Holler Loudly!” with enthusiasm multiple times a day, you’re the one for the job.
- Creative Activity Planner: You’ll need to know a wide range of fun things for the kids to do—preferably solo activities that keep them occupied.
- Emotionally Resilient: Be prepared for a child’s tears when you ask them to tidy up. It’s a rite of passage.
- Strong Stomach: You should have no qualms about tackling odors—catching vomit with your hands should be seen as an art form.
