It seems that these days, there are no
good mothers for a variety of reasons.
If you go to work, you're inattentive to
your kids, and if you stay home with
them, you're overbearing. If you
punish them, they will end up with
psychological problems, and if you let
them run loose, they will be involved
with drugs by the time they reach middle
school. It's not surprising that
many women consider themselves at one
time or another as bad mothers.
This book is written with extraordinary
frankness and it gives very funny and
useful advice throughout. How do
you handle it when your daughter dresses
up inappropriately for Halloween?
In this cynical, direct and very
intuitive narrative on modern
motherhood, the author says it's time
for women to get over it and get on with
life.

This book has the solution, if your
teenagers are making you go crazy. The
author takes a close look in this new
updated edition, at the typical issues

positive, invaluable resource.
