Jan Eliot's funny and irreverent Stone Soup follows the saga of an extended, blended family, starring two working-mom sisters living just across the fence from each other. Val and Joan share life with their opinionated mother, a middle-school diva and 10-year-old tomboy, a reclusive teenage boy, a wild preschooler and his new baby sister...and of course Wally, the ultimate nice guy who steps into his stepdad shoes with grace amid the chaos. Working-parent hassles, pre-school tantrums, middle-school angst, love and the single mom... it's all here in Stone Soup.

That is why the husband is supposed to be aiding and abetting their wives in this.

I worked when my kids were younger. I sure enjoyed the peaceful time at the office. Although now I love the time with my kids. :-)

She doesn’t need a day off, she needs a parenting coach, cause she’s doing it wrong.

My X never helped with ANYTHING around the house, and we were married in April of ‘59 and had all 4 by July of ’64. My older kids helped out some (because I needed it). They are all still very close, even tho’ we are scattered all over the country and the kids still help me now that I’m retired (especially my 2nd son).

“Kids should be seen and not heard.”

If any of your stuff is on fire… I’ll just tell them (children) to ignore or keep quiet about it and enjoy the show.

I don’t know, I’ve seen terrible parents say they need a day off and good parents deserve a day off too.

You misquoted wndrwrthg. He(?) wrote HAD, not HEARD.
While don’t happen to agree with the original comment, I did find it funny.

I feel no sympathy. She didn’t find those kids under a cabbage leaf after all, and they weren’t her first kids either so she had to know what to expect.
