I guess I don't read the article the same way a lot of critics of this woman on this thread do.

Let me tell ya about "Mommy and me" and a neighborhood female kid worshiping culture that does exactly what the author of this article says it does.

Bunch women complaining about their husbands and taking offense that he's a healthy male.

I've seen it.

I've seen it too, though admittedly from a childless perspective.

I think most people "put their children first", especially women with very young children (that's instinct), but then there's a type who becomes a martyr to her children even when it isn't necessary.

Freezing out the husband makes it possible to tell themselves "I gave up EVERYTHING for my children" and that strokes their ego.

Same way gloating about her sex life and her great husband strokes the author's ego. Sorry, she does come off as a know-it-all even if I agree with her for the most part.

And, remembering that pride goeth before a fall, I'd be wary about making my personal bliss so damned public. They could be in bed five times a day and he could STILL leave her for another woman; wonder what she'd write about then?

You have to read the spoof of this, in the link in #89; it's a hoot.
