Are you a mom who does it all? This is the book for you. It's
impossible to deny-most moms continue to do way more household work
and childcare than most dads. Working full time, raising kids,
cooking dinner, making sure every appointment and activity is lined
up and that everyone gets there on time... no wonder you're tired!
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 Manager Mom Epidemic 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 also (gasp!) your kids. Clinical psychologist and child
discipline expert Thomas W. Phelan, PhD explains how we got into
this mess in the first place, and how we can get out of it through
a calm, systematic approach to teaching our families how to take
initiative and contribute in meaningful ways. Dr. Phelan walks you
through real-life situations and shows you how to step back from
the things that are dragging you down. For example: Your Maternal
Identity-the things you tell yourself you have to do in order to be
a "good" mom 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 manager
resistant or traditionalist dadsRealistic and simple enough to
implement in your home right away, The Manager Mom Epidemic
provides a roadmap for you to take your life back and proves that
the happiest families share the work and the fun equally.
