A very loose parody of “Wannabe” by Spice Girls:
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want…
If you want to be my partner, it’s super sexy if you know our kids’ schedules.
Details don’t last forever, but they matter every day!
So share mom’s mental load…
When you know our kids’ shoe size and where to find the soccer jerseys.
You don’t need my reminders that pickup starts at 3.
If I’m not home and you start dinner without needing me to jog your memory.
When foreplay starts with, “I read your color-coded calendar and I see that you are free…”
And if we’re out of TP, you stop on your way home rather than reminding me.
I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want…
Cuz, if you want to be my partner, it’s super sexy if you know our kids’ needs!
Details don’t last forever, but they matter every day!
So share mom’s mental load…
When you know that “leave by 8” means start the process 15 minutes before.
You know getting kids to bed early is my idea of fantasy!
If you move the laundry from the washer to the dryer automatically.
When you start the dishwasher so that by dinner time, it’s free.
And when I leave town for a solo weekend, all I need to prep is me!
Baby, I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really want…
If you want to be my partner, it’s super sexy if you know my needs.
Details don’t last forever, but they matter every day.
So share mom’s mental load.
When you remember that I de-stress by running so you send me out to breathe.
You know that I never stop doing, and I need some boundaries.
But rather than telling me to relax more, you take on more of the mental load.
When we work together, you’ll get so much more of me.
And when we work together, you’ll get so much more of me.
Details don’t last forever, but they matter every day.
So share mom’s mental load.
