When you decided to stay at home, you probably thought about the quality time you'd spend with your kids and the wonderful meals you would cook. Maybe you even thought you would do some decorating or take up yoga. Later you realized things would be different. Your house is messier. You still have days where the kids drive you crazy. And then you wonder – what did I get myself into? Relax. DOMESTICALLY CHALLENGED can help. Written as a humorous guidebook, this book will show new stay at home moms how • Keep the kids entertained without hiring a circus • Find ways to keep up with housework, short of hiring a housekeeper (though we'd like to!)• Deal with the emotional aspects of her new job (including boredom and every mom's favorite – guilt)• And do such outlandish things such as finding time for herself.
As someone who is looking to make this transition the book provided a witty and informative view on the subject of staying at home. I was reading some of it out loud to my mother-in-law,a former stay at home mom, and she completely agreed with quite a few of the points made.
