Porn for New Moms

Okay, this isn't real, real porn, but it does speak to me. Porn for New Moms Watch the promo trailer. It would be even better if these guys were naked, saying, "Don't worry, honey, I'll do the dishes and fold the laundry one handed while holding the baby. You just take a nap."

I totally understand the reason this book exists, I laughed, and I LOVE the title but the fantasy of the guy doing all the house work just plays into stereotypical thinking. The sexy guy with the baby. It's true, I think my guy is sexier when I see him care for our kids. It's part of the intimacy of love. But it's not about housework.

Ayelet Waldman just came out with a new book this week, Bad Mother. Porn for New Moms reminds me of Ayelet saying she loved her husband more than her kids because he helped around the house. Okay I'm simplifying things here, but what always made me mad was that she never mentioned her nanny or her housekeeper. Most of us just don't live like that. I'd want to fuck my husband a lot more often if we had someone who did our laundry and dishes every week, let alone every day.

So basically I'm not paying for childcare so I can save for someone to help me clean. So I can have sex more often.
