Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off
I finally finished reading…Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off. I have got to say, I enjoyed the book. It was a very cool look into the world of corporate moms who work for big companies making $250k a year and a look into the world of a stay at home mom or work from home mom. I bought the book because of the topic “do I stay at home with the kids or keep my career” is often thought about by moms. Working mom or stay at home mom has always been a very diverse topic. Since having children I have always been a “work at home mom”, I wanted to see what working moms had to say about the issue and why they chose to work instead of staying home with the kids.
The book was written by Leslie Morgan Steiner, a mom of three and an executive with The Washington Post. Steiner has set out to resolve the “cat fight” between women who stay at home to raise children and women who pursue careers while raising children. She addresses the infighting that goes on between women who often have no real idea what life is like for those on the other side of what has been called the Mommy Wars.
If you have some time this winter, grab a copy of Mommy Wars: Stay-at-Home and Career Moms Face Off and read it as you can. Out of 5 stars, I would give it a 4.

I read this book when it first came out and liked it. I gave it to my sister who currently works out of the home and ofcource she sided with the career women. But I still side with women at home.

Thanks for the review. I have heard a lot of talk about the book, but wondered it it was any good. I think the whole “Mommy Wars” issue is nonsense. I believe each of us are doing what we believe is best for ‘our’ family and everyone’s situation is different. Great blog!
