"I’d trade my husband for a housekeeper"

Okay, so that's going a bit far, but it sure is a catchy title for the new book by best-selling authors Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile. This is sort of a follow-up to their first book, I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids. The two ladies wondered if marital bliss could ever co-exist with the trials and tribulations of motherhood and so they set out and interviewed hundreds of mothers to find out. I'd Trade My Husband for a Housekeeper examines the challenges of modern parenthood for married couples today and it extends a loving hand so that mothers can step out of the madness make the most of what they have and learn to love their marriages as much as they love their husbands and kids.

Today the authors were featured on Oprah with real mothers recanting not-so-perfect mom stories that were hilarious, very real, and conjured up big sighs of relief that I'm not the only one who has done or thought that. My favorite story was the woman who was driving in her car and both of her kids fell asleep at the same time. A rare occurance, she didn't want to wake them at any cost. When nature called, she simply reached in the diaper bag and used one of her child's pampers to make sure she could keep driving in peace!
