In the Spotlight
by Melissa Petri on March 3, 2006
that she keeps on asking every one of her female friends 'which desperate housewife they are'.
Pop Culture at its best... or worst.
Sadly, in real life, there are quite a few women -- housewives -- who have found themselves miserable and, well, desperate. Women who found themselves not really happy with the situation they found themselves in. Stay-at-home moms who hold a tinge of regret for agreeing to stay home.
Darla Shine did. In the Past. She's now a happy stay-at-home mom who left her career as a Television Producer to be with her kids. And she's telling other women now that she snapped out of her desperation... and so can all other women!
Happy Housewives
is written by Darla Shine and it is filled with "10 practical, sometimes controversial steps of becoming a more happy stay-at-home mom, its causing quite a national stir."No one should feel like a desperate housewife. Be a happy housewife!

That condescending, huh?
Strangely, I actually found some of what she said funny. Although, I have to admit, I didn't really finish the book.
There will always be wom vs sahm arguments and i guess, for most times, it will always be offensive for the other party.

This book is amazingly insulting, completely condescending and breath takingly judgmental toward working mothers. Even the website proudly proclaims it is "just for SAHM. Is this exclusionary? YOU BETCHA!" Nice.
If the rantings of (according to the back dust cover)the wife of the senior vice president of major television network is what you need to get your life in order, this it the book for you. However, pampered wealthy women firing maids and nannies and denying facelifts (It's from not overwashing and sunscreen, really! Darla's appearance on Good Morning America with her plastic surgeon friend who perfected a mini-facelift procedure she said she was considering meant ten years DOWN THE ROAD, people!)do not inspire me at all.
I'm embarrassed to be a SAHM mom if this is the best we can come up with for a role model.
