Not Guilty!: The Good News For Working Mothers
Posted by Blogmaster in Working Mother Books, tags: Good, Guilty, Mother's, News, Working
Product Description
In this provocative work, Betty Holcomb offers a fresh and thoughtful analysis of the real costs and benefits of women working outside the home. Puncturing popular myths, she takes a hard look at decades of research and shows that working mothers suffer stress, fatigue, and guilt, not as a natural outgrowth of juggling a job and family, but because of stereotypes, hostile workplaces, and policies that have yet to catch up with real life. With the right support, she argues, the revolution of the working mother could lead to richer and more satisfying lives for women and children — and men — alike.

Guilty for being suckered into buying this book! I didn’t find the “free pass off the guilt train” I was looking for in this dry read. Sorry to say, I’m still feeling guilty about working full time, but I now feel worse for spending my kids inheritance on this book! All in all, common sense outweighs guilt. I know it, I just wanted a book to confirm it…..this one was far from it.
