Customer Reviews

Delightful, real humor

I love Debbie's writing. I've read many of her columns and essays, and this book reveal's Debbie at her all time best. She takes the real frustrations and pains of parenting, and forces us to see it in humorous, loving light. You KNOW she is a mother and a wonderful one at that when you read this book.Erma was wonderful. Debbie is just as awesome.

Down to earth and relevant

I love Debbie's column which I receive in my e-mail on a regular basis. I also love this book. It is full of some very funny insights into life as a parent.She is someone who has been "in the trenches", so to speak and knows exactly what it feels like when your darling children are ready to drive you to the funny farm. She writes with a loving heart that shows the best way to handle many situations is to laugh about it. Sometimes parenting children can push you to the end of your rope and the best thing for you and your children is to stand back, take a deep breath and let out a good belly laugh. I look forward to a follow-up book in the future.

Dad likes it too...

I bought this book for my wife and ended up reading it myself. As parents of a two year old and three year old, we could relate to practically every story. Some stories like "Ode to Dad" really hit home. This book is a must for any parent. We need more family humor to make us realize we're not the only ones going through these things. As it says on the cover, "laughter really is the best medicine for parenting"! I can't fathom why anyone who has kids wouldn't enjoy this book immensely.

Wonderful Book

I just want to say that I totally enjoyed reading this book. Most of the stories hit close to home because I have small children. I felt that Debbie Farmer was writing the stories about me. This book is a must for anyone with children. You will thoroughly enjoy it.
