1.0 out of 5 starsDon't forget to have children! And employ a slew of hired help!
By reader 2227 on January 23, 2010
Format: Hardcover
Mika Brzezinski has promoted this book, by saying that she has advice, that she feels compelled to give to young, professional women.
Ms. Brzezinski likes to trumpet, "Don't forget to have children!"
Mika writes, on page 4, "'One of the first things I talk about, when I speak with young women about jump-starting their career - even if they don't ask is, 'Don't forget to have children.'"
Mika's publisher's blurb blares, "She shares a refreshingly pragmatic approach for the professional woman: don't wait to have children."
However, when Ms. Brzezinski has her two children in her 20's, as Mika promotes and advocates in her book, Ms. Brzezinski is also, privileged enough, to be able to hire a slew of nannies and back-up. Mika speaks of a helpful husband, and she is able to have a coterie of babysitters, housekeepers and staff, but nonetheless, Mika can't seem to manage. Although, Mika employs a range of domestic help, Mika still bemoans continually, about how depleted and overburdened she is.
It turns out, that raising children, can be quite exhausting. Who knew, that children had so many needs? Mika berates herself, for not having employed more caretakers sooner to watch her children, and doesn't want the reader to make the same mistake. Mika's message: Don't forget the fleet of hirelings and surrogates!
But, even with assistance and support, Mika distracted, falls down her stairs as she is holding her second daughter. While in the emergency room, there is the fear that the baby might be paralyzed in some way. Luckily, that was not the case, and the fracture to the little girl's femur bone is repaired. Mika and her husband then decide to hire even more household help, to "have the kids staffed" with no interruptions.Read more ›

1.0 out of 5 starsDelusional
By Lisa on March 1, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I got this from the library and finished it in less than three hours. Wow. Driven by what seems to be an obsessive need to be in the spotlight, Brzezinski neglects her children for a life that keeps her--rather than them--the center of attention. She freely admits that she finds true parenting to be a chore and would much rather be a "fun" parent. Being a parent means accepting that some days are nothing but temper fits and tears, whilst others are hugs and fun, and most are in the middle, with a little of both to keep things interesting. Brzezinski believes the proper way to raise her children is to take out loans and foist her daughters upon nannies and sitters so she herself has as little interaction with them as possible. At first I found this incredible; however, by the end of the book, it became quite clear that those kids may well be better off with people who actually want to be around them. If her horrific recounting of what happened when she believed her daughter to be paralyzed couldn't make her see the forest for the trees, well, perhaps it's best she sticks to her book tours and morning show and leaves her children in much more capable hands.

1.0 out of 5 starsDon't waste your time
By peterp on February 11, 2014
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
If you’re a fan of MSNBC’s Morning Joe and a fan of Ms. Brzezinski then you will love this book and you should have purchased it yesterday. If your looking for “a motivational book aimed at women” then this book misses the mark. Ms. Brzezinski writing is self-justifying and self-serving, highlighting emotional scares and personal defects to the world that she, herself can not see.

1.0 out of 5 starsA Cautionary Tale--How Not to Have It All
By olderandwiser on November 23, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I read this book and thought Mika was wise to make marriage and childbearing a priority. But then it became the usual drivel. Mika may have borne two children, but she's been too busy with her ego and her career to rear them. She appears to have adjusted totally to this sad situation, as revealed by the family Christmas cards--one shows her daughter with a broken femur in a hospital bed, with a balloon caption claiming this is what happens when baby is naughty. Actually, it was Mom who was naughty--she didn't get enough sleep and tumbled down the stairs, managing to fall on her daughter twice. Then there's the one showing her husband, two daughters, and a stand-in woman, which asks the recipient to say hello to Mommy if you see her. The final example shows Mika, hubby, daughters, and a baby (not their own). Some people thought she'd had a third child, not realizing it was a "joke" card. Let's hope her daughters, when they grow up, have a good laugh on the way to their shrinks. This book provides a graphic illustration of how to have "All Things at Once" without really having the substance of any of them. How sad.

1.0 out of 5 starsHire an armada of childcare, as soon as you can. Take all the credit yourself, then write a book about your "mothering" advice.
By Christine A. on October 3, 2010
Format: Hardcover
I read this book because I wanted to see what a co-anchor, on one of the three cable news stations had to say. The `hosts' of these shows, funnel and filter the news, so their positions can have an undue influence all the way around.
It always seemed duplicitous and hollow, when Mika pompously, predictably and condescendingly, harangued anyone who dared consume sugar, yet, Ms. Brzezinski could just as easily turn around and $hill for $tarbuck'$ $weetened drink$. Where is the integrity in that? What advice would Ms. Brzezinski have, about parenting babies and young children, while having a career?
Mika, frequently and repeatedly tells professional women, that they should have their children in their 20's, just as Mika did. On the other hand, Ms. Brzezinski employs an armada of nannies and babysitters, to take care of her children, which she glosses over. What Mika is trying to package as parental advice, seems empty when she admits how little she sees her own children. This often makes Mika appear clueless, in a Marie-Antoinette sort of way. One is left greatly baffled, from what Mika espouses, and then how she leads her own life.
In Mika's own words: "It meant we'd need virtually full-time babysitting help." (p 79) "I could have used much more help, but we could barely afford just the one sitter." (p 96) "He [her husband] took out loans to hire another nanny so I could get the rest I needed, and all the support we needed around the house. We hired a night person and a day person." (p 112) "We set it up so the house could run efficiently in my absence - and even in my presence.Read more ›
