Love her way of parenting. She is funny but also gives great advice. ( )

I loved this book. It's humorous, thoughtful and makes you reflect on your own parenting. It's a quick and easy read and you'll delight in taking the time to read it. ( )

Okay, so in many cases this book is just preaching to the converted. But you may be surprised. For example - a book that is so often pegged as 'slacker' actually advocates that your child should not watch television. Bet you didn't see that one coming.

When you get past the kitsch and the west-coast irony, this is actually a great book, with a valuable message for new parents. Essentially - the children joined your family, not you joining them. Your kids are little people, who will one day big people, so why not start to equip them with the skills they will need now. While you may be a parent, you are still an adult, so act like one.

Sure to annoy so many parents, I just hope as many parents are also delighted by this book. ( )

A hilarious tongue-in-cheek look at modern parenting practices with a great message: Children should not be led to believe that they are the center of the universe. (Bonus: fun illustrations and recipes throughout.) ( )
