How do you create time for yourself? Is there really time to do it all (feed the kids, keep them busy, clean the house, balance the checkbook, and take a shower)? How do you deal with the absence of the “professional you"? An invaluable resource for mothers, The Stay-at-Home Survival Guide includes interviews with stay-at-home moms, discussions with experts (family therapists, educators, medical specialists, career counselors), checklists to help you make the most of your time and keep you balanced, and Melissa Stanton’s own experiences leaving a career as an editor for People magazine to become a stay-at-home mom herself. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - After talking with a stay at home mommy friendI was perplexed, wondering what could be so hard about not having a job outside the home. To ParentsDigest I went, reading summaries so I could find a book that offered me an expert's insight on the pitfalls of being a stay at home mother. By reading this book, I not only found a way to be supportive of my friend, I found a deeper understanding of the thoughts and feeling that she deals with on a daily basis, things I'd never considered. Great read, glad I bought and read it. Rating:  - Bitter, Cynical and Self-Centered. Horrible. I can't be the only one who hated this book. I'm a stay at home mom who joyfully chose this path over a satisfying role in the paid workforce. But I think this book is discouraging and out of touch. The author is a snob who seems to think she was God's gift to the publishing world but dealt it a devastating blow by sacrificing her lucrative career in Manhattan to be home with her draining children. It is as if her decision to provide care for the children she willingly chose to have was the shot ... Read More Rating: - Great Book, Especially the Money ChapterMy sister has this book (even reviewed it here) and I've been reading it at her house and really enjoying it, even though I'm not a SAHM (yet). I just now bought a copy that I'm going to give as a Christmas/Baby gift to a friend who is pregnant with her second and will be staying home. I'm a working mom of two right now but the juggling has become really hard for me and my husband to manage with two demanding jobs. I don't think I'll quit to stay home but as luck would have it I might actually be ... Read More Rating: - Very reassuringI'm a mom of new twins and bought two "survival guides." This one, for being a new stay at home mom and another one about being a new mom. The new mom guide, which is by a doctor, wasn't as useful as I'd hoped. (I bought it for the advice about regaining my body, but she doesn't really address what happened to my body due to twins.) But I'm really enjoying this book, which I'm reading a bit here and there since I don't have much time to do anything anymore. Melissa, the author, had twins (like me) ... Read More Rating: - A "must have" book for any Stay-At-Home Mom.I have been a Stay-At-Home mom for 12 years and this book is "spot on"! It's a practical, sensible, hands-on guide that covers all the issues and challenges of being a Stay-At-Home mom. I highly recommend this book for all Stay-At-Home moms and for any soon-to-be Stay-At-Home moms. Kudos to Melissa Stanton for such a well-thought out and well-written guide.
