I found this book entertaining.I love the terms she uses to describe our off spring. I like that the book is not written by a professional and written from the perspective of a mom. Feels like you're getting advice from a friend. There were some things that were a little over the top for me. But some things I read made me think "light bulb". Overall, I rate this book 3.5/5. Thank you to NetGallery and the Publisher for the ARC of this book.

This is great for anyone new to responsive parenting. As someone who has already been intentionally using responsive parenting techniques, it was a good refresher. It was also a nice morale booster and motivator during a period of feeling burnt out.

This was just okay for me. Some things made me outright guffaw;others I felt went a bit too far. I do, however, greatly appreciate her being real and honest about how difficult it is to be a parent.
I'm a Jenny Lawson fan. So perhaps I unconsciously expected similarity.
I received an ARC from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Gwenna for writing this book. It is so refreshing to get parenting advice that is real, honest and not from someone with a ton of letters after their name. Coming from Gwenna you know you’re getting tried and true advice that really works. She may not be a professional but I’d rather have someone with life experience than a degree giving me parenting advice. Parenting is an “in the trenches” lived experience. It’s not something you can learn from a textbook so it doesn’t matter how many degrees or years of school you attend, it’s all about lived experience in my opinion, that actually counts. Gwenna has that, and she gives it out with sass, spunk and humor which I love. I’ve followed her on TikTok and I am so happy she wrote a book. Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for allowing me to read an advanced copy! These are my honest opinions and they are my own.

Insightful and fun read for parents of all levels. The humor brought by Laithland helps to ease the stress parenting can bring to all whether new or experienced.

I begin with an apology. While I was interested in this book, both because of the description and because of the description of humor, I realized quickly this book was not for me. If I had really thought about it, I might have realized that, so that's why I apologize. While I am a parent, I'm also a grandparent and it's been a long time since I've been around young kids as a parent I think I'm perhaps too old (71) for the parenting "tips" which I didn't find that helpful and/or the humor. As I thought about what I would write, I remembered that I'm a big fan of Jenny Lawson. I do often find her quite humorous. So, I guess it's preference for styles and the subjectivity of humor. I'm glad this author has an audience, but I won't be joining.
I will not place a review anywhere but here.
