I was hoping for a more modern Erma Bombeck, but this wasn't it.
It started out amusingly, but Duff got increasingly cranky and entitled as it proceeded. This despite that she is apparently unwilling to put her foot down about her husband's arguably abusive interruptions of her limited sleep, for his whims. Also, despite that he is retired and she is working, she gets to do ALL the second shift- like getting up early to get the kids off to school, and returning home to a disaster because hubby cannot be arsed to put cereal bowl in the dishwasher, among many other things.
It's Duff's call, of course; we all make our own adjustments to life as it is. But it's not as funny as she thinks it is, and really- she needs her adolescent kids and retired husband to step up. It's not adorable that she declines to do that.
Also- lots of bragging about her second house, etc. OK, you have an income most of us can only aspire to...but that rather separates you from "everywoman".
The first few essays were amusing, but they got more annoying as it proceeded... especially the periodic, blatantly shameless plugs to buy her PREVIOUS books.
Disappointing.… (más)
