I asked for this book at Christmas mainly because of the title and the cover art. I should have heeded the adage about judging literature in this manner.

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.

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.
