With a title like this I expected much more encouragement from this book. Anyone who may be new to motherhood and working full time may find this book as a warning; "Look out!" It's discouraging. More of the negative points are brought up than any exploration for organization or stress relief. It's really a focus towards new mothers that have no clue on where to pull themselves together. This would most definitely be a bad read for anyone with postpartum depression. Working and being a mom is not this bad.

The end of this miserable public rant, appears to point fingers at bad husbands who do nothing. UGH! These women should admit they are not happy people and not have published this PMS literary poo.
