From Publishers Weekly
In this light treatise on parenthood, entrepreneur and marketing consultant Glyck warns new and expecting mothers "there's no escaping the poop," which is good, because "the hard parts of motherhood actually offer...the most potential for growth." Glyck takes pains to avoid the glorious myths about the beauty of birthing and childrearing, instead offering readers 10 topical chapters about lowering your expectations, rolling with the infant's punches, the importance of maintaining perspective (and outlets for frustration) and surviving "mommy wars." Interspersed are inspirational quotes, "Sanity Savers" sidebars and "Thought Experiment(s)." Though Glyck can tend toward the meliorist ("I often wonder why we just can't support one another," she muses about other mothers), her naïveté is tempered by her curious choice of epigraph: Sylvia Plath, before she put her head in an oven.
