    Default Has anyone read *To Hell with All That*

    "Loving and Loathing Our Inner Housewife"? (by Caitlin Flanagan)

    It's kind of a study of the struggle between at home moms and working moms. Or rather....the debates, ups, downs, pros and cons.... A friend told me about it so I got it from the library yesterday.

    It's interesting, but does not offer up any answers or advice. And since the author has a nanny and a maid...well, I kinda find that hard to relate to. There are however, some interesting side topics (over the top weddings, sexless marriages, overscheduled children, etc.)

    Just wondering if anyone else has read it?

    Question

    I have not read it but if she has a nanny and a maid, what is she doing writing a book about being a housewife?

    I read it and found it .... thought-provoking.

    There were a lot of topics to mull over.

    The major thing I came away with was the difference between a HOUSEwife and an at-home-MOM.
