It's about time!

Finally, a book for real parents. Sometimes the tooth fairy forgets, chocolate cake for breakfast? Sure! No longer do parents have to do penance for not following Dr. Spock word for word. We all parent differently and how refreshing to read about the mishaps of others. Thanks!

Very, very funny

This book is not your run-of-the mill parenting book. It's just a fun book to read where other Moms tell their less-than-perfect parenting moments. You will realize that you are not alone and you are not the only one who messes up! It also makes you feel less-guilty when you know that many of these moms are speaking from when their kids were small. Their kids are now grown and "turned out fine" in spite of the Mom's mistakes. I especially enjoyed the frog-cooking story. I laughed so hard. This book will have you giggling while you hide from your kids in the bathroom. :) Julie
