But Susie has more important things on her mind ...Like how to keep sane while trying to control a four-year-old diva who thinks she's Judy Garland, as well as a thrill-seeking toddler with a death wish. Not to mention managing a demanding husband who expects a home-cooked meal at least once a fortnight and inconsiderate parents who seem to think luxury spa breaks are more important than spending time with their grandchildren.

Rating:

Secret Diary of a Demented Housewife is a hilariously funny satirical look at the mad world of a housewife with two young children. The lead character Susie is like every other housewife of the 21st century and so has all the same problems. More importantly she has problems that everyone, no matter what their age, can relate to. Her husband Joe is forever at work and may be having an affair!! Her young son Jack is refusing to act normal, well so Susie thinks anyway and her daughter Katie has just started nursery, which has arisen to a whole new batch of problems for Susie to cope with.
