An update...I did finally read the Mommy Wars and it was pretty good. I particularly enjoyed the stories by the moms who worked...okay of course I loved those essays. As for the ones who stayed at home, they certainly made me think, but I wouldn't take their advice if you paid me a million dollars. You can always write a book when your kids are in college one of those moms wrote. That's nice and what if you got hit by a truck tomorrow. That wonderful novel you were sitting on would be toast, just like you. You can't put off for tomorrow what you can do today. Your kids won't be scarred for life because you pursued your passion while they were growing up. Wake up women, we don't have to be martyrs just because we're moms. Spend fun time with your kids, help them with their homework and be there when they need you...which incidentally is not all the time. It's all about balance - for those who have found it in their lives, then kudos to you!
