  • On point!!
What I liked about this book, is it gets right down to the problem. We all have triggers and this book reminds you as a parent we still struggle with our very own triggers. This helped me really take a stepback and just be a momma. The rest will follow once you understand ur triggers. Ur human and this is just another way of letting you know we have to work on OUR OWN INNER CHILD ... show more

  • If you’re only going to read one parenting book, this is definitely the one.
This book is fantastic. I’ve read loads of parenting books and this was by far the best, most enjoyable, and most life changing. It’s honestly and humorously written. Instead of judgement this book offers an understanding of why one might lose their sh*t and provides ways to lessen how often and severely this happens. If you’re reading this review, you should definitely buy this book. ... show more

  • Recommend
Obviously this book has some profanity, so scroll on if that offends you. While the author isn't a Christian, she doesn't frequently recommend your pastor as someone to talk to if you're struggling, church as a place to find your community, recognizes significant religious events that could increase stress levels, etc. This book is honest, compassionate, relatable, helpful, and funny, and one I anticipate coming back to again and again. ... show more

  • Buy this book!!
I’m halfway through this book and love it! It’s SO relatable! The author makes me feel seen and understood. I only took a star off because there are some printing mishaps where chunks of sentences are missing so I kind of have to guess what it says.

  • Print error
There are spots where text is missing. I requested a replacement and it had the same errors throughout. BOOK ITSELF IS EXCELLENT. Just difficult to read with printing errors.

  • Lovely note from an Amazon worker :)
I didn’t get to read the book yet; I have skimmed the first few pages, and it looks like a good read. I ordered several parenting books mainly for personal enrichment (we can all find areas of our parenting to reflect and improve on), and this book in particular caught my eye because, for one, my fiancé’s patience is a bit more thin than I’d appreciate and so he tends to react to situations more quickly than he should (in my opinion), and two, admittedly, I also occasionally find myself visibly frustrated with my kids and afterwards feel terrible as I realize I could have maintained my composure much better in the moment, so I figured this book would be a useful tool for the both of us. Between buying this book and five other parenting books (including the whole-minded child, the 5 love languages of children, etc), the Amazon associate who packaged my books must have thought I was having a mental breakdown! So to my surprise, I pull out the stack of books to find this post-it with an affirming message on the top, and it really made me tear up. Such a small, simple gesture that probably took her/him 20 seconds to write and stick on really made a positive impact on my day. It also left a “personal” touch to my order, especially since it’s holiday season and I know they are packaging so many orders right now! I plan to contact Amazon customer service to see if there’s a way to forward a message of thanks to this particular associate, but figured I’d also post the positivity in the review, especially for the small chance this individual ever comes across it. :) And, I’ll come back and edit my review once I’ve read the book! ... show more

  • Great book so far but page 7 has missing print
The book content are easy to read. Wrote in a funny way make me can not stop reading. It felt like the author is reading parents mind and know exactly how kids push parents button l. The only thing is the first order I got page 7 has missing print, so I return and replace another book. It turns out page 7 same thing miss print again. Hope the seller or whoever check it first before sell it. ... show more
