As soon as the sun rises, my day begins with a rush. From the moment I open my eyes, I know I’ll be racing around until nightfall. Even after the kids are in bed, my mind is still buzzing with thoughts of the day. The chaos of motherhood never really quiets down, and sometimes I wish for an extra pair of hands—or perhaps a clone of myself.
After a hectic morning of getting my children to school (only slightly behind schedule), I catch sight of you, fellow mom. You look just as overwhelmed, with your hair hastily tied back and that familiar look of frantic urgency as you zoom out of the parking lot. We’re all in the same boat, racing against the clock.
But I’ve seen you in action on the basketball court, and I must admit, you’re impressive. You maintain your composure even when the referee makes questionable calls, and you have a knack for teaching the kids the value of fair play. You didn’t even flinch when Emma disobeyed and spat her gum at your feet!
I, on the other hand, struggle to recall which child is on the team and have no clue if my own kid is wearing the correct jersey. If someone were to toss gum my way, I’d probably hand over my whistle in frustration and walk off the court.
You once mentioned that you’d love to bake like I do, but the thought of messy kitchens and failed cakes makes you cringe. Meanwhile, I find solace in baking, though I had to skip the last PTA meeting to perfect those cookies. I heard you were there, whistle in hand, managing the chaos.
So here’s my proposal: will you be my sister wife?
Let’s embrace this idea instead of resisting it. I can bake, you can coach, and together we can tackle the endless chores that come with motherhood. Imagine splitting responsibilities! I could manage two kids if I only had to do it part-time.
I’m ready to sign a contract right now. We both know this arrangement could work wonders. I can pick the kids up from school, tackle a barrage of questions, and whip up snacks. That way, you can steal some time for yourself. Go grab that latte, indulge in some girl time, or even take that pole-dancing class you’ve been eyeing. Just don’t schedule it during my spin classes on Wednesdays and Fridays!
After your refreshing outing, you’ll be energized and ready to handle bedtime with your partner. Fair deal, don’t you think? If you throw birthday parties for my kids, I’ll handle all the paperwork and appointments, including your husband’s vasectomy. I just can’t deal with the parties themselves—the noise, the gifts, and the chaos are my personal kryptonite.
Every other Thursday and Saturday, I’ll take over the deep cleaning, while you handle grocery shopping. I can even create a detailed list for you and organize any coupons. You’ll be attending PTA meetings, right? And if you forget that special cheese I like, I won’t even mind because I’ll be too grateful to skip those meetings.
We can take the kids to the playground and trade off on phone time—I’ll keep an eye on Tommy while you catch up on Instagram, and I’ll happily add baking ideas to my Pinterest without the stress of watching my child on the slide.
We’re still present for our kids, just managing the overwhelming tasks of motherhood together. This idea of combining our efforts is far better than the tired notion of “divide and conquer.” We’ll each focus on what we love, and it just happens to be different things.
What if we have disagreements? I doubt that will happen since we’ll both be too relaxed. And your husband? He’s all yours, no sharing required.
So, what do you think? Just sign here…
