Not my type of book , mostly a collections of people’s opinions and experiences, spotted a number of bad advices too like “cry it out” method.

This book reminded me of two things I already knew...

There are a lot of stupid people in the world and a lot of them have kids.

You can almost always find someone to agree with you if you look hard enough.

There were a few cute quotes in the book, but it was mostly just a book that I read because I had started it and because I could keep reading it in little spurts because it wasn't a story.

this book was actually full of really interesting tips and things from 100 different parents from all over.

Some of the information I'm surprised was actually published, it astonished me to kno what SOME parents are like, but the majority of the book was very worth the read.

I suggest for any up coming parents... to read this book. It helped with a lot of planning, tips and tricks ;)
