Book Review
I went to the local library for the first time this Summer. I needed some good fiction or a telling true story in replace of a vacation I was never going to get. I browsed the new additions and this cover picture caught my eye. Then the title caught my eye. I knew I had to get it if I could already relate to the title.
This book by Amy Wilson was hilarious. I nodded my head along with almost every sentence. I felt her pain, the pressure of being a mom, and laughed with stories of her three kids.
Lately I have felt like "The Screamer," I even asked Jerime if the only memory my kids will have of me is me screaming at them. My kids are 2 and 4. We are in the depths of Terrible Twos and my 4 year old loves to push buttons. Seems like there is always screaming going on at our house.
After reading this book it affirmed my feelings as a mom and I didn't feel so alone. I am trying not to scream at my poor kids, but my nerves are frayed most of the time. Hopefully this season will lighten up soon.
If you have ever felt the pressures of motherhood, beginning before the baby is born, this book is for you. She goes over pressures such as having the "best birth," which is only drug free or you're a terrible mom, breastfeeding but not a day longer than 1 year or you are a hippie mom, wearing sweat pants all day, behavior problems of the kids and mom, and many other pressures. She also has funny stories about her kids, such as, when her middle son teaches her the rules of "Cut the Cucumber" after she keeps finding him with this hands down his pants.
A great read! Get it from Amazon.com or your local library.
