A girlfriend (of course) gave this to me three years ago when my daughter was born. Though I love the friend, I don't always love her taste in books. She'd given me several of the 'Sweet Potato Queens' books along with a hearty recommendation and let's just say, well, my recommendation of those would be stingy at best.
But I stumbled across this the other day and started skimming for the heck of it. Next thing I knew I was fully engrossed. Although written with a wry, comic flair this b...more

Vicki Iovine's "girlfriends' guides" are my favorite books on childrearing -- very funny, real, and not guilt-inducing (unlike the "What to Expect" series, which set the bar so high that just reading them wears me out). The toddlers one hits a number of big issues like getting them to eat healthily (great tips on this).

Fun read - definitely gave me several good laughs as I watch my third enter her toddler years, my second leave his and reminisce about my first born's years gone past. Really wish I had found and read this one back when I was going through my first round of the toddler years with my first born! Will definitely try to remember to give books from this series to new Moms. We ALL need a good laugh at ourselves!

I really like the "guide to pregnancy" but this was really cynical. Always saying how hard and basically awful having a toddler is. Also was not encouraging about saving another child. did give a small bit of good advice about "lovies".

This book is hilarious so far! Loving it! Later... Finished this book- great read! Truly funny and encouraging. Not the book for you if you're looking for hardcore info on how to raise your child- more the book if you're looking for comfort that you're not going insane in the process!

A pretty thorough book. Maybe not so much of a great book to just sit down and read all the way through, but rather one to have on hand to look up certain topics as you come across them with your toddler. It goes into a lot of detail and seems like it would be a great book to reference, although not a terribly exciting read to read cover to cover.

Waste of time. The author thinks she's funny but I didn't. No real solutions to anything, just so called funny stories.

This book became my best friend at a time when none of my friends had toddlers and no one had 2 babies in 13 months...except me

not extremely informative but fun to read which is half the battle for a book like this anyway (in my humble opinion)

I don't remember much about this book but it was nice to hear about raising children from a mom instead of some Doctor.

That potty training stinks and that it doesn't matter if it isn't done until the kid is 3.5. They will do it when they are READY! (So I need to stop caring)

A fun book to read, but I wouldn't really depend on it for much advice on how to really raise your toddler.

Offers sane, realistic advice but not as laugh-out-loud as the Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy.

a must read for mother's of toddlers, and yes, i do agree with the author: when your kid is walking, no matter what the age, he is suddenly a Toddler. i loved the analogies and i found my self laughing out loud and relating will to the real ness of the author. very fun and engaging and also full of great ideas on how to handle those little ones we love

I have read most of this book before, but it is so very funny. And since I basically have two toddlers right now, it's a great read.

I have laughed out loud with this book so far. It also makes me realize I need to trust my motherly instinct and do what is best for Cole and who cares what anyone else thinks!

Yeah, well Parker was screaming his head off when I was in Barnes & Noble looking for this book b/c he wanted to get down and tear all of the books from the shelves - reinforced my need for this one...
Finished it, thought it was so-so. Lauged a ton with the 1st two of hers I read. Maybe I'm just tiring of her sense of humor by now but I didn't find it that funny or very informative...

I enjoyed reading this book. It was funny and entertaining, and I think the author provided some very realistic approaches and ways of looking at toddler-rearing. Her views, based on parenting four kids, were pretty practical and to-the-point, which I liked a lot. I’ve read most of the GG guides and took a lot away from all of them! I’d definitely recommend this one, too.
