Motherhood Uncensored  

Many thanks to authors Stacie Cockrell and Cathy O' Neill for joining me this evening. Finally, a book that addresses what we've all been thinking -- is it me or does divorce look better and better every day?

This code of silence we take after having kids has been hurting families and relationships for years. But thanks to Babyproofing Your Marriage, a no-holds-barred look at the havoc having children can wreak on your marriage, there's a bit of support and hope for us all.

Does that sound dramatic to you? Possibly. But when you're spending most of your days bickering, arguing, and NOT having sex, you'll read or try anything.

The ladies emphasize the following:

- This book is for moms and dads alike. No man bashing.

- Moms need to let go and let dad get involved. If he doesn't get it still, go away for a day/weekend.

- Make a list of your duties -- and split them up!

- Some scorekeeping is inevitable, but find better ways to solve it than count every single diaper change and explode on contact.

- Take some time for each other without the kids.

- And finally, laugh. Laugh a lot.

Oh, and buy the book!

Join me next week where I'll discuss Cocktail Mommies with author Stefanie Taylor.
