A Mom's Life

Summary: A must for any mom!
Review: I listened to this on audiobook when my son was a six-month-old baby, and I LOVED it!!!! It totally captured the hectic pace of life with small children! It was VERY funny and made me laugh out loud. I can't imagine how the other customer who revewed it could POSSIBLY find it negative - it's obvious that Grody adores her children and loves staying home with them. She is especially moved and touched by her two-year-old's discoveries and observations But even the most adoring stay-at-home mom (as I am) still faces those hectic, stressful days when the toddler is pouring oatmeal on the dog while the 7-year-old suddenly remembers that he had promised that his mom would bake cookies for the bake sale, and hey, Mom, they're due today! This audiobook was funny, enjoyable, and very true to life. I would recommend it for ANY mom.

Summary: Attention at-home moms!
Review: If you're a stay-at-home mom or plan to be, read this book. It's a sweet, funny, honest take on a day in the life of a stay-at-home mom.

Even a decade or so after its release, "A Mom's Life" still aptly captures the widely swinging emotions of a modern woman who has dedicated her days to taking care of two small kids. Grody's humor is just wonderful, especially when she talks about sleep deprivation, wondering how do you know when your day ends if you never go to sleep.

Find a copy of this book for your sister, friend, yourself. After a day of scraping peanut butter off the door handles, you deserve a good read like "A Mom's Life."

Summary: Pessimistic Drivel
Review: It is a shame that this book made it to print when there are so many other worthy manuscripts out there, waiting to be published. This book was so negative about the aspects of having children, I contemplated trashing it before donating it to our local library so that no one else would make the mistake of actually putting out money for it. Yes, parenting causes a lot of personal sacrifice and lifestyle changes, but not in such a way that one dislikes their children, as Mrs. Grody seems to. This book was written in a manner that suggests that children are an enormous burden; it is supposed to be humorous, but manages to leave you disgusted, rather than laughing. The flower-child of a mother depicted seems to have more regard for Green Peace than for her own children. It would be best to find a book by Erma Bombeck if you are in need of a good-natured, tasteful laugh about the trials of child rearing.
