Book Review of I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids: Reinventing Modern Motherhood

compac avatar reviewed on + 29 more book reviews
Helpful Score: 2


This book is mainly geared toward mothers of kids 4 and younger. The main points that the authors bring out are good and the format is easy to read and follow. But, they seem not to realize that children can learn from people other than their parents. The book is also somewhat stereotypical and old fashioned about the roles of the mother and father...and assumes the mother does all or a large majority of running a household and raising the children. It basically ignored single parent families and issues. I got no help, humor, or entertainment from this book.
