Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer

By Vicki Lesage and E.J. Koh

Book Overview

#1 Amazon Best-Seller

A humorous memoir about parenting in Paris, where not all French kids are well-behaved...

Party girl Vicki has traded wine bottles for baby bottles. If she's up at 3 a.m. it's because of a crying baby, not a wild night on the town. From writing baby r sum s to get into daycare, to racing down cobblestone streets to find a toilet for her never-gonna-be-potty-trained son, parenting in Paris is much harder than she thought.

Laugh along with Vicki as she tries to see the humor in her new life. French kids don't throw food? Hers do French kids are polite? Hers let out sonic boom farts in the elevator. Even her ever-patient French husband admits they'll need a vineyard's worth of wine to get through the potty-training phase. (For them, not the kids.)

Through deadpan humor and funny observations about daily life, Vicki shares the highs and lows of raising her family in Paris. Will she survive motherhood in the City of Light?

Fans of Pamela Druckerman's Bringing Up B b will be comforted to know that not all French kids are perfect angels. As a contributor to Jen Mann's New York Times best-selling I Just Want to Pee Alone series, Vicki doesn't hold anything back when spilling what it's really like raising kids.
