Review # 1 was written on 2008-05-03 00:00:00 Steve Seno I think i'm ready to pull this one off the shelf again. I don't know why I read it when Em was only one, but it's time to review.

Review # 2 was written on 2020-05-17 00:00:00 Steven Shum 2.5 stars. I think this book was trying so hard to be funny and relatable that it came off as inauthentic. The author contradicted herself within the chapter topics (ex: one chapter saying she never took baths because she was so busy then later saying she takes baths as a form of self care). There were some things she said that made me chuckle, but for the most part I thought she was a little arrogant and annoying. I don't think that was her intention, but I think she is probably very socially awkward and just tried too hard and didn't really know how to be relatable. I also didn't understand some of her perspectives and the battles she chose to pick as a parent, but to each their own. After reading this book, I will never even jokingly call my husband Daddyo because that got SO ANNOYING! Overall I think this book could've used a little more organization and editing. I didn't learn anything new and it wasn't entertaining enough to keep on my shelves. Perhaps its just that my sense of humor doesn't gel well with Ms. Spencer's but if you're looking for a funny book on parenting, I'd say keep looking.
