27 Reasons Single Moms Need a Husband That Do Not Involve Sex

This past week, I was sick. Not just sick, but sick as a dog, and in that fever induced state, I must admit I really, really wished I had a husband. After I got better, my single Mom friends and I compiled a list of 27 Reasons Single Moms Need a Husband That Do Not Involve Sex.  Too bad inflatable men can’t do these things!

So in no particular order, because all of these can be #1 on any given day, I give you…

27 Reasons Single Moms Need a Husband That Do Not Involve Sex

  1. To take care of her when she’s sick.
  2. When a blizzard hits and the car needs to be shoveled out.
  3. To change a tire.
  4. To take the car to the mechanic
  5. When she wants to be the good parent.
  6. For GNO so she can hang with the girls sans kids.
  7. To take the kiddos to yet another birthday party. Seriously, there should be a law – 2 parties on the same day should be the limit!
  8. To pick her up from the airport.
  9. To walk the dogs in the rain, sleet and snow.
  10. For major holidays, especially Mother’s Day, when the kids can’t shop alone.
  11. During teacher conferences when you know you’re going to hear bad news.
  12. For their shoulders. Perfect for hiding behind during scary movies.
  13. To wrestle with the kids. Because boys get bigger and stronger and there are just so many bruises she can take!
  14. To drive her to  work and let her catch some more Zzz.
  15. To answer that dreaded phone call from the school stating the kids are sick or in trouble.
  16. To act as a +1 at events. There are just so many prying eyes we can take! And, pleaseeee for the love of gawd don’t ask us when we’re going to remarry! We’ve been there, done that, so we ain’t rushing back into it.
  17. To put together furniture, fix the TV, clean the roof, etc. (basically, all those chores we despise!)
  18. To run to the store for our late night monthly craving.
  19. To do that dreaded common core math with the kids.
  20. To give us back rubs, lots and lots of back rubs
  21. And, foot massages. Sigh. Foot. Massages.
  22. To carry the groceries  …
  23. And, put them away.
  24. To kill water bugs and roaches. *shiver*
  25. To have someone serve her a homemade meal for a change.
  26. To break up fights between the kids.
  27. To physically and emotionally kiss away her boo boos.

Scratch that. Single Moms don’t need a husband. They need a wife! Because women can do all these things (and more!), while holding a child on their hip, a cellphone in their hand and strutting in some kick arse shoes!

Rock on Ladies. Rock. On.

Just for fun, what would you add to the list? Let us know in a comment!

Lots of thanks to Cindy, Rachel, Sandra, Gabrielle, Lissett and a few other unnamed single Mamas for their input on this list!
