"You Know You're an Empty Nester....", August 31, 2005
This review is from: You Know You're an Empty Nester When...: A Hilarious Look at Life After Kids (Paperback)
"You Know You're an Empty Nester When..." is a delightful and amusing read for parents who are facing an empty nest in the not too distant future. It has its poignant moments too. It's also a humorous look back for those who are "experienced" empty nesters. I thoroughly enjoyed my journey down memory lane, often laughing out loud at both the sentiments expressed and the cartoons. I recommend this book to all parents who will someday be empty nesters as well as those who are already empty nesters.

Great Gift for parents, September 18, 2005
This review is from: You Know You're an Empty Nester When...: A Hilarious Look at Life After Kids (Paperback)
I'm the daughter of empty nest parents, and I can tell you that the observations Dr. Sundby made about "empty nest time" are SO true! Did my mom call me a million times to "just check in" when I went away to college? You bet! And, yes, I did have to walk her through setting up her new DVD player--on the telephone.
My dad always seemed to have business trips in "my neighborhood"--not that I minded, even though they were often two states away. The cartoons are great! In my freshman year, I received a care package almost as big as the one illustrated in the book--Kept my dorm floor afloat for a long time.
Although I've been away from home for a few years, I recently purchased the book for my folks. They loved it! Think this is a great book for kids to get their empty nest parents--it may. make life easier, not only for the parents, but for the kids too!"

An insightful and fun read for any child or parent, July 12, 2006
This review is from: You Know You're an Empty Nester When...: A Hilarious Look at Life After Kids (Paperback)
Very funny, very cute look at what happens when kids leave the nest. I loved the illustrations, very well done and the look and feel of the book overall was pleasant.
I purchased this for my mother and she loved it. I laughed out loud at many of the pages myself. Highly recommended for parents and children alike. I look foward to a second volume. Keep them coming!
