That book sounds fantastic! I don’t have kids myself but a friend who does cannot recommend The Three Martini Playdate: A Practical Guide to Happy Parenting by Christie Mellor highly enough for its hilarious take on parenting and parenting books. I’ve read it and I found it hilarious too.

Ha ha. Sounds like a book I would really appreciate. Similar to one I just read, Confessions of a Slacker Mom. Laugh-out-loud funny.

I have told my kids they obviously did not read the parenting books, because that is NOT how the books said they would respond. Kids just do not always fit into patterns and act predictably as the parenting books would have us believe.

You should read Anne Lamott’s “Operating Instructions: A Journal of My Son’s First Year.” Irreverent. Funny. Relatable. And her son had colic too–but it’s not a “how-to-deal” guide; it’s just her own story that is funny and painfully honest.

I think you have to have a sense of humor when raising children. I also think there isn’t enough credit given to mother’s intuition. The title of this book is great!

Isn’t Beckwith’s book hilarious? My mom and I were tooling around the ALA convention floor and came across this book last summer. We both had a really good laugh over this one

My children are grown now, but I raised them on the Dr. Spock book and they did just fine. So many theories change back and forth. I used the “toilet training in less than a day” book and it worked, too.
I had two children by natural childbirth and it was no big deal — had 2 others with the Epidural and it is the only way to go!

The best book for parenting is “The Color Code” by Taylor Hartman. And the best book for marriages is “The Five Love Languages” by Gary Chapman.

There you have my nickels worth of free advice
