Suggested Answers to Exercises in Section Four

Not too long ago a male friend of mine appeared on the scene fresh from a recent divorce. He had one child， who is， of course， with his ex-wife. He is obviously looking for another wife. As I thought about him while I was ironing one evening， it suddenly oc- curred to me that l， too， would like to have a wife. Why do I want a wife？
I would like to go back to school so that I can become economically independent， support myself， and， if need be， support those dependent upon me. I want a wife who will work and send me to school. And while I am going to school I want a wife to take care of my children. I want a wife to keep track of the children's doctor and dentist appointments. And to keep track of mine， too. I want a wife to make sure my children eat properly and are kept clean. I want a wife who will wash the children's clothes and keep them mended. I want a wife who is a good nurturing attendant to my children， who arranges for their schooling， makes sure that they have an adequate sociallife with their peers， takes them to the park， the zoo， etc. I want a wife who takes care of the children when they are sick， a wife who arranges to be around when the children need special care， because， of course， I cannot miss classes at school. My wife must arrange to lose time at work， and not lose the job. It may mean a small cut in my wife's income from time to time， but I guess I can tolerate that. Needless to say， my wife will arrange and pay for the care of the children while my wife is working.
I want a wife who will take care of my physical needs. I want a wife who will keep my house clean. A wife who will pick up after me. I want a wife who will keep my clothes clean， ironed， mended， replaced when need be， and who will see to it that my personal things are kept in their proper place so that I can find what I need the minute I need it. I want a wife who will plan the menus， do the necessary grocery shopping， prepare the meals， serve them pleasantly， and then do the cleaning up while I do my studying. I want a wife who will care for me when I am sick and sympathize with my pain and loss of time from school. I want a wife to go along when our family takes a vacation so that someone can continue to care for me and my children when I need a rest and change of scene. I want a wife who will not bother me with rambling complaints about a wife's duties. But I want a wife who will listen to me when I feel the need to explain a rather difficult point I have come across in my course of studies. And I want a wife who will type my papers for me when I have written them.
I want a wife who will take care of the details of my social life. When my wife and I are invited out by my friends， I want a wife who will take care of the babysitting arrangements. When I meet people at school that I like and want to entertain， I want a wife who will have the house clean， will prepare a special meal， serve it to me and my friends， and not interrupt when I talk about the things that interest me and my friends. I want a wife who will have arranged that the children are fed and ready for bed before my guests arrive so that the children do not bother us. I want a wife who takes care of the needs of my guests so that they feel comfortable， who makes sure that they have an ashtray， that they are passed the hors d'oeuvres， that they are offered a second helping of the food， that their wine glasses are replenished when necessary， that their coffee is served to them as they like it.
