Ms. Sherman clearly shows through anecdotes and statistics that couples everywhere are trying to split three full-time jobs - the husband's, the wife's, and the running of the house - between two people. It's just not possible.The book is a comfort to anyone who has wondered why they feel overwhelmed because they can't keep up with the household tasks. The logic and benefits, as well as the guidelines, to hiring household help are clearly spelled out. The book is a wonderful reference tool.

Summary: Help Around the House
Review: This book practically saved my marriage. We were both working full-time but then had another full-time job at home so we barely had time for our marriage. The housekeeper isn't that expensive after we analyzed things. Another book that we got that really got our marriage back on track was -- The Romantic's Guide. It gave us hundreds of tips and ideas on things to do to get closer again. I'd highly recommend both.

Summary: TIME TO GET OUT OF SING SING!
Review: We have this new thing going on in the world. I believe it is called "technology". I have a joke for the reviewer. What do you have with a family who is making $50,000 a year but has no hired help? Can't guess? You have a very stupid family. You may not find this joke funny now. But you will after buying this book from Amazon.com. Also buy copies for your friends and neighbors to prove how stupid you were. Actually, we all freeze at the idea of "hired help". What happens if they steal from us? What happens if our housekeeper just got out of jail for child molestation? I have to get quite serious here. These questions do tax the mind. And it does make outside help nearly impossible except for multi-millionaires. What about employment forms? Will you get sued if your housekeeper brakes his or her leg? And, don't deny it, "What will people think!" There isn't much time today for couples. I have asked many of them how they feel about having gotten married and having a family. Nearly all of them liked having been married! Even for 50 years. Then ask them about the children. If they do say yes, you will see a grimace and a pained look in the eyes. Try it! There is one pragmatic approach to saving the family nowadays. Hire a housekeeper. But this is really too much for most people. It's very complicated. Let me change that last sentence. It's very complicated if you don't have this book. The author covers everything! She makes in incredibly simple. There is only one main problem with the book. And this is not covered in detail. When you do have a housekeeper, you may see that all those ex-wives and ex-husbands did not need to be gotten rid of. Totally unnecessary! All you needed was extra time to pay attention to each other. In other words, all you needed was a housekeeper! Well, the book wasn't out then. BUT IT IS NOW. You need to stroke your partner daily. And if you don't have much time to do so, then they won't get stroked, will they? BUY THE BOOK. It is mucher cheaper than a divorce. As the author points out. And she is really not being cute with the title. Housework is a good exercise. So is spending time with your mate. Time very well spent. Good luck.
