I admit, I didn't finish this book. I read the first chapter and flipped through the rest. It's not that it is a bad book - it isn't. In fact, I totally agree with the book's premise that American society expects mothers to do way too much with way too little (time, energy, money, support) and as a results mothers are totally stressed out and often not as happy as they could be. Oh, and that it's better in places like France. But I guess that's why I lost interest in this book so quickly. I wanted to read about something I didn't already know. Alas, the folks that DO need to read this book probably won't. And that's a shame.
