Review # 1 was written on 2008-03-28 00:00:00 Ross Padman I loved the first few pages of this book and thought it would be a great read. I found it a bit self righteous in parts and didn't enjoy the author's personal comments/analogies but despite this it does have many interesting points. It focuses a lot on the mother being the basis of all future relationships her son will have with women and emphasises that the mother must try to help the son break away from her and distance himself ... a nice sobering thought for mothers of young boys!

Review # 2 was written on 2014-10-12 00:00:00 Wesley Knight A series of essays, written by moms (magazine editors, authors, others of that ilk), meditating on their less-than-perfect parenting moments, which range from the mundane "I didn't sign them up for soccer" (I think that was Muffy Mead-Ferro again) to the more critical "My child nearly died." A slim tome, which I easily finished reading in a day.
