What to expect
It's impossible to deny—most moms continue to do way more household work and childcare than most dads. But despite all the books and articles lamenting the crushing mental load and emotional labor women bear for their families, no one has come up with a plan to actually make things change. Until now. The Best Moms Don't Do it All is the first book that not only acknowledges the fact that moms are burning out, but shows you how to transfer responsibility for daily tasks from yourself to your partner and kids. Clinical psychologist and child discipline expert Thomas W. Phelan, PhD explains how we got into this mess and how we can get out of it. Dr. Phelan walks you through real-life situations and shows you how to step back. For example:
- Your Maternal Identity
- The oppressive trap of chronic supervision
- Our society's curious underestimation of children's capabilities
- How to eliminate primary childcare with tweens and teens
- How to manage resistant or traditionalist dads
Realistic and simple enough to implement in your home, The Best Moms Don't Do it All provides a roadmap for you to take your life back and proves that the happiest families share the work and the fun equally.
