I could have written this book, minus a couple minor things that I disagreed with. Holy cow, a great advice book on how to parent and not lose your mind. A great read for any parent. ( ) Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. I believed this was going to be a light read with fun examples of over the top parenting. Unfortunately, I found Daisy Waugh to be condescending and judgmental in a frequently angry tone. Wasn't the point of the book to be the opposite? Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. While I agreed with the author's main point, which was that parents should relax and stop feeling guilty about how they're raising their children, I felt that she made her arguments too extreme simply for the sake of humor.Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing. Not impressed. Perhaps it was just a matter of missed expectations, but I was "expecting" to be highly amused. I wasn't. But that's what makes the world go 'round...someone else coming from a different place in life might just think it's the best thing ever. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
"A bracing, hilarious manifesto for motherhood as it ought to be: spontaneous, loving, and just a little bit selfishPre-chewing toddler food. Flash cards for two-year-olds. Endless hours of school gatherings to sit through in smiling silence. How did motherhood--which even under the best circumstances comes with a million small costs and compromises--become a venue for female martyrdom, verging on a sort of socially approved mass masochism? How did the great natural force of maternal love get channeled into a simpering, slavish adherence to an inflexible social norm, a repressive sentimentality festooned with hideous pastel baby accessories? How did the bar to good motherhood get set so high that it's impossible for modern mothers not to feel like they're failing?It doesn't have to be this way--and Daisy Waugh is here to tell us how to opt out of the masochism cycle. Part feminist manifesto, part hilarious rant, The Kids Will Be Fine asks modern mothers to stop confusing love with subjugation. This is a book for moms everywhere who are fed up with the constant stream of unsolicited, impractical, guilt-inducing advice directed their way; for moms who have always secretly suspected that children would turn out okay even without handmade organic snacks or protective toddler headgear. With biting wit and lancing observations, Waugh gives women permission to slough off the judgments, order in some pizza, and remember that motherhood is also about the mother"--
