Summary: Mom approved!
Review: I recently got a copy of Sheri's book for my mom who grew up in a dysfunctional childhood -- she too thought she was going to screw up me and my sister but that hasn't happened. After talking to my mom on the phone recently... she mentioned how much she could relate to the issues Sheri has gone through and enjoyed her writing style. With Sheri being a leading radio talent... I wonder if she has considered doing a recording for Audiobooks. In summation... Sheri's story would make a great Lifetime Channel movie.

Summary: This book is a must for all moms!
Review: As a longtime fan of Sheri Lynch's radio show I was very eager to read her book. From the first paragraph, I was hooked and read the whole book in one evening. As one who spent many a day of her pregnancy filled with all manner of doubts and fears, I would have killed for this book when I was pregnant. Sheri's book is filled with common sense, love, encouragement and humor. A wonderful, wonderful book that should be read by all mothers and mothers-to-be.

Summary: the truth about pregnancy and beyond
Review: Finally a pregnancy book that isn't all roses and tells you the truth. I had ordered a bunch of pregnancy books right when we found out we were pregnant and after a rough 7 months I ended up defacing the smiling, happy pregnant women on all the covers. Not with this book. It is very funny and still informative. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is having a challenging pregnancy or is just a little nervous about what to expect when baby arrives.

Summary: I loved this book!!!
Review: I loved this book so much! I am a listener to the Bob and Sheri show and soon as I heard about Sheri's book I ordered. I am planning on getting pregnant this summer and this book was so helpful. It was not only informative, it also dealt with the eemotional and pyschological stress that pregnant woman goes through. Wonderful book!

Summary: Great book If you have concerns about becoming a mommy...
Review: I think this is a great book for those of us who have traveled down a bumpy path in their lives. My mother left when I was a child. While I have always wanted to start a family, I have some major concerns about whether I would be a successful parent (especially since my mom was so terrible at it).
This book really helped to put my mind at ease with humor, honesty, and really great insight. I appreciated the realistic information about everything from morning sickness to labor and delivery. And... I found myself smiling and laughing throughout the book. I highly recommend this to anyone who doubts themselves or their abilities to be a great mom... it really helped me identify and heal some of the wounds from my not-so-perfect past.

Summary: Finally!!!!
Review: I used to be a listener of Bob and Sheri when I lived in South Carolina. In 2001, I moved to Rhode Island and it was bye-bye Bob and Sheri. Oh how I miss listening to them in the mornings. I was so excited to learn that Sheri wrote a book. It lived up to every expectation. I just got it in the mail yesterday and I can't put it down. It is blunt, humorous and gives practical advice. A must have book for couples who want to have kids. Thank you Sheri, and what can I do to get a RI station to play your show in the morning??????????

Summary: Stick With the Radio Show, Or Use the Library Instead
Review: I'm not that impressed with this book. I, too, listen to Bob & Sheri in the morning, and I've always enjoyed Sheri's view and the way she gets her point across. So when I learned that she wrote a book, I checked my library (no luck - they're very slow getting new releases), and then bought it while on vacation for my long airplane ride. The thing about Sheri's radio show is that she's funny, but a lot of it is in the delivery. Her book is exactly like her show (she writes the way she talks); only it doesn't come across very well in writing. And that's not good reading, either. She touches on the basics of pregnancy and having a newborn, and I agree with a lot of what she says, and can relate to her stories. But I don't get who a "Misfit" is, exactly. First she describes a Misfit as a woman who had a horrible childhood, or bad role models growing up, or something awful. But within the meat of her chapters, it seems that a Misfit if Every Woman (news flash: not every woman had to visit her parents in jail growing up, but we still have the same worries about pregnancy and birth that MOST women have!). If you're as much as a control freak as you say you are, Sheri, you're reading this review right now (hi!), so don't stop here. I'd love to read more about radio life. My favorite parts of your book were the true-life stories about how you were treated and the things you experienced (comments from callers, getting sick in the bathroom where your co-workers butt just sat, pumping milk through a two-song set). I urge you to write a book ABOUT your job and how you juggle a family... I've heard your newest baby on air before (in the background); tell us how you were able to get that kind of privilege. Help the rest of us have the same perks you enjoy. You are helping introduce that kind of lifestyle into the work world, so keep it up.

Summary: Great read for all mommies!
Review: I've been a long time fan of the Bob & Sheri show, and bought the book because I've enjoyed Sheri's column on the show's website. I was not disappointed in the book! I think it's a must read for moms, moms-to-be, or anyone thinking about being a mom and maybe having doubts. I hope she does write another one about toddlers!!

Summary: Fun!
Review: Like most of the other reviewers, I, too, enjoy hearing Sheri's acerbic wit on the air each morning. I wasn't sure if her writing was going to be as good as her on-air persona, but it almost is. I just had my first baby last year, so I was pregnant at the same time as Sheri, and I was so excited to see that she has done a book on Mommydom. You want to connect to this book, and I almost did. I kept wondering, "Am I a Misfit?" I fortunatly had a great childhood, but I'm still neurotic. I saw myself in so many of her stories. But I sometimes wondered if this was meant for me. Often, Sheri refers to the Misfit as one whose childhood was quite traumatic, leaving an adult ready for any tragic situation and preparing for the worst. I just was never sure if Sheri's Misfit has to have a terrible childhood. Everything else is great. She has lots of funny little stories about morning sickness, etc., and some sweet stories as well. I especially liked her story about how your baby has been with you forever (you have to read the book to get the full story!). I was expecting a bit more about the actual role of the mommy post-birth, and this book does deal more with pregnancy. Is there a sequal in the works? And Sheri, no, a child's toilet does not belong in the restaurant! I have to side with Bob on that one.
