"The book gets an unfair reputation from the title and from people projecting their own misgivings. It is not about working versus non-working, rich versus poor, or whatever mommy wars crazies are trying to spin it as. It is about trying to -whether you are working or not- prioritize your child's emotional and social wellbeing as an importance facet of parenting, especially during the first three years.
It has tips for working moms and tips for SAHMs. It is honest and lets us know that when we become mothers, it is a hard job. It corrects the lie of the perfect mother and tells us how to least screw our kids up.
I'm glad to have read this book before I had children after being interested by her GMA interview."
