In lieu of that much-needed wife ofherown, Mead-Ferro finds solace, sanity, and even success by embracing her famous tendency toward slackerdom. Full of personal anecdotes and real-wife wisdom, her latestConfessionsoffers precious comic relief and an invitation for wives everywhere to join the ranks!A slacker wife has the wisdom to accept the following: that a little dirt on her kitchen floor doesn't hurt anyone, that wrinkles on her husband's shirt and on her face are perfectly natural and not worth worrying about, that party guests can be just as happy with a bowl of chips as an elaborate salmon mousse, and that over-scheduled equals under-happy. Above all, a slacker wife lets herself have fun being a wife. She has girls' weekends, orders take-out, and takes leisurely walks. And as a result, she, her husband, and her family are happier and healthier-even with a dirty kitchen floor and a wrinkled shirt.专业书评From Publishers Weekly
Being a slacker wife isn't all fun and games. For one thing, she still has to do the grocery shopping, buy the birthday presents and coordinate the family's schedule. But she does get to ignore dirt on the floor, focus on her career and enjoy a girls-only weekend from time to time. Mead-Ferro charmed readers with herConfessions of a Slacker Momlast year, and she's just as terrific in this follow-up as she dispenses comforting advice while still being one of the girls. She adroitly addresses many of the issues confronting modern wives today, from the "thankless if not completely invisible chores... on my list simply because I am the wife," to the covers of certain women's magazines at the checkout line, which "make forty-four-year-old women like myself want to hang ourselves from the rafters with a thong." Mead-Ferro's witty remarks and her book's lighthearted title belie her seriousness as she speaks of the importance of letting go of society's unending pressure to maintain the immaculate lifestyle and letting yourself—and your kids—get dirty and enjoy life. Mead-Ferro's book is a refreshing complement to the hundreds of titles out there that explain how to do it all perfectly.(Apr. 15)
