There are subjects we at The (real) Stepford Wives Association never discuss in any setting, aside from privately with our husbands. We never speak to each other or anyone else within or outside our circle about religion, politics or matters of finances. We do not ever discuss money with each other, our husband's salaries. We know better than to ask about the cost of our homes, cars, furniture or clothing.
When we brunch we divide the bill and tip in an equatable fashion, so beverages, tip and meal are covered.
What we do discuss are topics like our Stepford ways, we share cleaning tips, plan social gatherings and meal ideas. We discuss our children and arrange playdates. We discuss clothing, makeup and hair. We remain supportive to each other.
Recently, our country held a general election, to pick amongst other officials our next president. Some of us chose to simply hand over our ballots to our husbands, not because we cannot be trusted or because we are uninformed, but because our husbands share our core beliefs and our ballots would likelly be identical anyway.
We trust completely our husbands to make informed decisions. We trust them with all matters regarding our finances, if something is broken, they decide how it should be repaired. If there is an issue, we go to them for advice, why on earth wouldn't we trust them with our ballot?
The truth is we have no such concerns.
