The book written for me: the stressed parent!

As a fulltime work-at-home mother of three (including one toddler), I have my fair share of stress -- kids, house, husband, pets, dinner, laundry -- you name it, I get stressed! I have previously enjoyed other versions of "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" and was thrilled when I received a copy of "The Don't Sweat Guide For Parents: Reduce Stress and Enjoy Your Kids More"! I read this wonderful book in an evening because I couldn't put it down. Every section seemed to speak to me -- such as # 50: When Super Mom Feels Less Than Super. Did they know I would be reading this book?This book, while small and compact, is a must for all parents. I think it is especially great to give to an expectant couple. It will give you lots of great advice, soothing thoughts, and superb strategies for coping with the up's and down's of parenting. I highly recommend!
