Mehso-so

Some decent tips in here but I just could not get into the Bible thumping that seemed to get thicker as it went on. The voice of the entitled author was irritating. Props to her for admitting it. I was also bothered by her repeated admittance that she‘s “not a parenting expert, and this might not work for you, but this is what worked for my family...” on the fence between 👎 and so-so.

So this book is quite a bit more bible-thumpy than I can appreciate. Sometimes sounding very judgmental and intolerant, but some good points like the quote above are made here and there. The author sounds snobby and very privileged, which is why I guess she can be the authority on entitlement. I suppose she‘s trying... I know I could never get through this one if I were reading... the audiobook is even a bit of a struggle.

A lot of tea and this audiobook got me to North Country and back for the little brother's graduation. :)
