Editorial Review:

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.

I don't park my kids in front of the TV to have a regular 4:00 chat with a girlfriend. I don't worry about my loss of identity. I don't thrust my kids at my husband when he arrives home from work, because I am so sick of dealing with them. I have no criticism of any woman who does those things, ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Perfect for even the Mom-to-be!
This book is great, even if you're about to have your first or you've already got more than you can count! This book could give you just a small bit of piece of mind cause you are not alone:)



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - good mom before i had kids
this book was so much fun to read. it's good to know that i'm not the only one who feels crazy. and that we are all just human and we will make mistakes.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - "Great Read For Mom"
I orginally checked this book out through my local library. I loved it so much I bought my own copy from Amazon! Every mother can relate to this book!
