From the Author

The ideas put forth in this book are bound to generate the same kind of media attention garnered by the bestsellers The Surrendered Wife by Laura Doyle and The Rules by Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider. According to recent surveys, 70% of moms said they would rather stay home with their kids, and 87% of parents wanted to spend more time with their children. Two million children are home-schooled each year. This book will appeal to the many people interested in home-schooling their children. The self-published edition of this book was written up in the Washington Post, The Connecticut Post, and Woman’s World. The book was also picked up by the Conservative Book Club—all in the first three months of publication. --This text refers to the Audio CD edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Don't let naysayers keep you from reading this book, February 7, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Help Your Husband Make More Money so You Can Be a Stay-at-Home Mom (Paperback)

Obviously a lot of the reviews written here are about people's objections to stay-at-home moms, not the book itself. I am a feminist, and there is nothing wrong with helping yourhusband or partner earn more money (man, if you don't like the idea of staying home with your kids, than don't do it-- don't tell people to earn thier own money and let the husband stay home! Geez! Feeling a little insecure about your own choices?)

This book is really a great idea, and not a new idea either. This is the attitude my grandmother had about her husband's work, and she was much more financially stable than most women today. Obviously you want to have your own work skills, bank account, savings account, in case of death or divorce, but for many women who can not possibly do any more penny-pinching, and who either don't want to use up thier time with thier children running a business from home, or are already doing so and could use more money, this is agreat resource.

Good job to the author! Thank you for writing a book about something that us women have been thinking about.

I think this book is worth its price, even on a stay at home mom budget!

Kids have the right to be cared for by people who love them, and I think any book that helps a women or man stay home with thier own children is a great addition. I am going to recommend to my library that they buy this book.

As for the folks who review this book and criticize moms at home, why are you reading tis book in the first place? Seems thou dost protest too much.............

This review is from: How to Help Your Husband Make More Money so You Can Be a Stay-at-Home Mom (Paperback)

This book is a modern day solution to a time-honored method of family life. How many of us can afford to raise a family on one income these days? Not too many. Not long ago, however, this is the way it was usually done! In these economic times, a family must have a workable program to follow in order to accomplish this goal. That is exactly what this book provides.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Resource for (Wannabe) Stay-At-Home Moms!!, March 4, 2003

This review is from: How to Help Your Husband Make More Money so You Can Be a Stay-at-Home Mom (Paperback)

All the techniques described in this book were used by the author to help lead her husband to financial success. The result was her husband's income increased over 300%, and she is now at home with their children (I think given the choice, most women would stay home with their children if that were an option).

Helping your husband succeed will bring your family closer together because you're working as a team toward financial success. This isn't about "getting rich quick" but just using your husband's God-given abilities to support his family. Together you make a great team!
