From the Author

A license is needed to drive a car and get married. College prepares men and women for professions. The Army trains its recruits at Boot Camp for weeks. No one ever requires a soon-to-be mother or father to pass a test, and that's a good thing!

Parenting is hard work, and with most hard work, is extremely rewarding! The opportunity to sit back and reflect on the gifts children give adults each day is a moment in time many parents do not have. Misadventures of Moms and Disasters of Dads is all about taking the time to realize that parenting is fun and rewarding.

I am certain you will enjoy reflecting on your parenting ups and downs as you read a chapter here and another there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Author of MATERNAL MEANDERINGS says,"This is fabulous fun!", May 17, 2004

How absolutely fantastic to have these wonderful slice-of-life, anecdotal parenting experiences edited so beautifully into a book that even has an exquisitely designed front cover. Adding to the entertainment that this comprehensive humor package provides is the fact that proceeds from the sale of each book will go to breast cancer research. Humor that delivers AND a social conscience. Now THAT'S good stuff. Forget those "how to" parenting books and come on over to the funny side with MISADVENTURES OF MOMS and DISASTERS OF DADS. It'll be the only regret you'll never have!

This anthology of real-life parenting experiences is a wonderful book. As a mother of four boys I enjoyed reading about how other parents deal with potty training, sickness, birthday parties and laundry. Apparently they use HUMOR because this book had me laughing out loud! Buy it, read it, share this book with other parents.

With every essay in Misadventures of Moms & Disasters of Dads, you'll step into universal parenting shoes. You'll not only find comfort but also large doses of humor as you relate to the shared anecdotes. This compilation is a chorus of delight with the contributions of many parenting authors.
