It opens with an introduction on what is a decadent housewife, and perhaps more importantly, how can you be one. After all, as the opening pages say: it's a hard job, but somebody's got to do it!
The following chapters are then divided into sections throughout the day, to ensure you get the most out of your decadent housewife routine:
Rise & Shine, 7.30 - 11.30am
"Your man will no doubt be grumpy and somewhat resentful. He is likely exhausted from years of hard work and sleep deprivation. Luckily for you, this has left him in a prime state for your first move of the day. Turn off the alarm and feign a smile. Purr, 'Good morning' into his ear, followed with a chosen pet name. 'Darling' or 'sweetheart' works well for most housewives, but a Decadent Housewife knows to use 'stud' or 'big man' or anything else that reinforces masculinity...
... Emphasise how he is the strongest/smartest/fastest police office/businessman/professional cricket player on the force/board/field. If unsure of occupation, us 'best man on the team'."
