Another in the Sweet Potato Queens series, this is a humorous look at child rearing. Though meant to be amusing, it still offers sound advice on how to cope with the problems of parenthood, written by a woman who has been there and done that. Browne's amusing and acerbic take on parenting is a good read even if you don't have kids yourself. Lots of fun to read, just like the other Sweet Potato Queen books and with a few killer recipes thrown in to boot. Although in this book, the talk of bribing men with BJs is significantly absent. Maybe Browne has finally realized that all this talk of BJs is just not a good thing. It has been one of the only things about her books that I never liked. In this book, they are only mentioned as one of the problems parents of boy have to face, teaching their boys how to handle today's sexually aggressive girls.
I enjoyed this book a lot, just as I have enjoyed all the Sweet Potato Queen books. In fact, I think I liked it best of all the books and it has some real down to earth advice for parents. It took me just a couple days to read it, which is the sign of a good book.
