Woman's need to know
Well, I'm 26 years old single woman and still have no idea about something a named marriage, but from Pearson's book make me understand how hard to be a motherhood n a worker for a woman...full of dilemma. Always Make me think " I don't know how he does it" Truly Need a real commitment for having kids and jobs...thanks a lot for your great and funny book.

Rated 2 of 5 of 5 by Isabella
Not good at all..

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Zsu
Unputdownable! What I liked at the end of the book was a comment about the author' husband appreciating HIS help: 'I don't know how HE does it!' Aren't we parents all doing a great job? Women, of course, most of all...

Rated 5 of 5 of 5 by Anonymous
Love the Book.

Rated 4 of 5 of 5 by Dori
At times I found I wasn't enjoying the book - because it touched WAY to close to home... What I found touching was the author's abilty not only to describe MY hectic life.. but also all the guilt that goes with it! I admit I skipped to the end when reading and thought I'd be dissaponted and was very glad not to be. Thanks for a thought provoking.. at times entertaining and at times a bit too real read. Amazing how universal some things are.. from another working mom in Israel.

Allison Pearson IS our goddess!
This is a book about me and my friend, and a friend of hers, and every working mother there is...
Thank you, Allison!
Amazingly enjoyable language, and every single line in the book is so true!
I have four children myself, and have always worked full time at a pretty stressful job, and I could relay to every word in this book.
Wonderful read!
