I enjoyed Joan's review.
I admit I haven't read Caitlin's book or any of her writings. That kind of bickering about 'stay at home' vs. 'not stay at home' stuff is just foolishness to me. But I did read the NYTimes piece on housework this week & having read Joan's review of the book I can righteously claim that I've diagnosed Caitlin's problem! Obviously, she felt abandoned by her mother as a child & is blaming it on her mother going to work, thus she is hashing it all out in public via her writings. Apparently the paid for therapy hasn't worked and she's brilliantly figured out a way to work through her issues & get paid for it too.
As for working at the kitchen table, I do that too, before I go to my office job and again at night after I return. Can I claim both "at home" & "away from home" status?
