Mothers today juggle more tasks, work longer hours, and sleep less than their own mothers did. Yet the self-healing revolution has overlooked the most significant issue in the lives of some twenty million women: how to cope with the relentless, sometimes overwhelming, stresses of raising young children in the twenty-first century.

Father's Corner:

• My wife lives for our daughter and I am starting to wonder: when is it my turn? I feel like all that I am in my wife's eyes is a means to an end. I go out in the world like a cave man, bring home meat and drop it at her feet, she looks up and says "thanks honey," and goes back to the child.

• My wife is on my case and I don't get it. Example: A week ago she tells me I make too much noise when she's trying to put our baby girl to sleep. So last night I stayed in the den while Amy was screaming up a storm and I guess wouldn't nurse. Finally Amy's asleep and my wife comes in and glares at me and says I'm clueless about parenting because I should have come in and asked her if I could help.
