Rate this book
How many times have your kids said, "You never listen to me!"? Or a fellow parent alarmingly asked, "You let your kid do what?" Now, Sheila Ellison reminds moms what all the hard work is for. With themes ranging from "Laugh Now, Clean Up Later" to "Bathing Suit Blues" and "The Compliment Cure," Sheila's common sense and warmth shine through in this companion for moms of all ages. When the laundry looms, the carpool calls, or the fourth-grade science project is due, mothers need a reminder that the nonstop whirlwind of parenting offers some very special love, joy, laughter, and devotion. Filled with anecdotes that are profound, funny, wise, and witty, How Does She Do It? is like having a conversation with a best friend.

Birkaç tane hatırlamak isteyeceğim anektod olsa da genelde bana hitap etmedi 'dersler'. Evet gerçekten ders şeklinde bir tavrı var kitabın, öğüt verir gibi yazılmış. Kitabın bu tarzı oldukça rahatsız edici. Ve bahsedilen sorunlar büyük çoğunlukla standart, hatta üst orta-sınıf beyaz Amerika'lı kadınlar için geçerli. Belki 101 farklı kadından, farklı konular üzerine daha az öğüt, daha çok bilgelik içerir şekilde yazılsaydı güzel bir kitap olabilirdi. Kimseye tavsiye etmeyeceğim bir kitap kategorisinde.

Wanted to love this book, but hated the viscous undertone of judgmentalizm and mother shaming. Yuck.
