Product Description:
'I don't know how she does it!' is an oft-heard refrain about mothers today. Funnily enough, most moms agree they have no idea how they get it done, or whether they even want the job. Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile spoke to mothers of every stripe working, stay-at-home, part-time and found a surprisingly similar trend in their interviews. After enthusing about her lucky life for twenty minutes, a mother would then break down and admit that her child's first word was 'Shrek.' As one mom put it, 'Am I happy? The word that describes me best is challenged.' Fresh from the front lines of modern motherhood comes a book that uncovers the guilty secrets of moms today . . . in their own words. I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids diagnoses the craziness and offers real solutions, so that mothers can step out of the madness and learn to love motherhood as much as they love their kids.

Ok, so I'll be honest here. There isn't a mom on the face of this planet that hasn't thought most, if not all, of the things written in this book. The problem is, just because we think it doesn't mean it should be published and passed around. I was given this book as a gift by someone who thought it would be lighthearted and funny. That may have been the original goal of the authors, but it's not how it comes across at all. I was excited to read this book thinking it would be funny and truthful yes; ... Read More

"Motherhood is one of those things that's totally impossible to picture until it happens to you. You think it will be a certain way-you won't yell at your kids, you'll have infinite patience, you'll sit on the floor for hours reading to your kids, you'll divide the parenting duties fairly with your husband-and then boom, your baby arrives and your whole world turns upside down. I mean, I always pictured myself with kids, but I didn't expect to be barely keeping it together 99 percent of the time. The ... Read More

SAHMs can relate to this book - it really points out all the little things you are expected to take care of typically as a stay at home mom (over and above the 6 mini meals a day and the associated cleaning of the floor, table, chairs, wall and hair and the 8 diaper changes a day including the 3 nasty ones, including the daily blowout that diaper manufacturers can't design diapers to contain...), and has lists where you can check off your unspoken responsibilities so you can realize that you aren't completely ...

I couldn't have come upon this book at a better time. Frustrated by the daily routine and feeling alone working and managing a household with 2 kids, this book provided me with reassurance that I was not the only mother feeling this way. I typically don't have time to read books for pleasure but I couldn't put this one down. I recommend it to any mom (working or not) who needs a break and to know that she is not alone. Excellent book.
