Synopsis

The Stay-at-Home Martyr is a lighthearted and yet penetrating look at the modern-day phenomenon of obsessed homebody moms—women who give up not only their careers but also their relationships and their sense of self, all in the well-intentioned pursuit of raising "uber" children. They're exhausted, cranky, and, although they'd never say it, resentful of their kids.

 

An irreverent narrative that addresses the reader as a good friend, The Stay-at-Home Martyr looks at the costs of a life focused solely on children. By telling it like it is and giving moms the tools they need to correct their ways, this book will have women laughing at how far they've gone off track. And it will be welcomed by their friends who want them to focus a little less on their children and more on themselves.
