Review

"14 hours 'Til Bedtime" is like a good laugh with a girlfriend. -- Lisa Earle McCleod, author of "Forget Perfect"

Jen Singer has hit parenting on the nail...it's hectic, loud and mind numbing yet worth its weight in gold. -- Ken Swarner, author of Whose Kids Are These Anyway?

Somewhere Erma Bombeck is smiling. -- Ralph Schoenstein, author of "My Kid's an Honor Student. Your Kid's a Loser." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

From the Publisher

Truly laugh-out-loud funny, Jen Singer is the voice of today's over-worked moms! Recently she was quoted in "The Boston Herald" October 1, 2004: "Americans love to see privileged people fall, and (now) it’s housewives’ turn," said Jen Singer, author of 14 Hours 'Til Bedtime: A Stay-at-Home Mom’s Life in 27 Funny Little Stories and creator of MommaSaid.net.      

"For the past few years, staying home with your kids has been seen as a privilege," she said. "Watching Desperate Housewives lets working women feel relieved that being a housewife isn't what society has held it up to be. And at-home moms want to know that other housewives can be as unhappy or more so than they feel sometimes." --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moms United in Humor!, February 5, 2005
By 
K. Charette (Gales Ferry, CT) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Jen's take on the long, long, long, long day with little ones is true! Trust me, my angels are 10, 9, 5, 3 & 2 and I have counted the hours until bedtime many afternoons.

Jen unites all Moms in the realization that we are all doing the best we can! And if we can't laugh, why bother???

Thanks Jen for your honesty!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful giftbook for stay-at-home moms everywhere, February 6, 2005
14 Hours 'Til Bedtime: A Stay-at-Home Mom's Life in 27 Funny Little Stories is a stay-at-home mother's collection of insightful and chuckle-inducing true anecdotes. Whimsical sketches illustrate this funny and oh-so-true tour of everything from Feng Shui for toddlers to "15 Signs Mommy Needs a Little More Me Time" (sign #1: You've decided not to wash the red paint form today's art project off your fingers, because it's the closest thing to a manicure you've had all year). A delightful giftbook for stay-at-home moms everywhere.
