 Stressed parents need buy................................. July 10, 2004
15 out of 17 found this review helpful
I love this book!!! As a first time parent of a now seven month old baby girl, many people are surprised at my laid back yet firm approach to parenting. This book captures my feel for the way I want to raise my child with so much wit and humor, I find myself laughing out loud while reading it!!! I have reccomended this book to every parent and parent-to-be that I know. Any "uptight" mom and dad should read this!! We were here first!! We get so overwhelmed as parents trying to raise smart, healthy, and safe children we forget to take time for ourselves and RELAX and enjoy our children. We also forget that WE are the PARENTS and WE run the show. Even if you don't have kids this book should be read.
Refreshing and wonderful reading!!! March 14, 2005

One of my bestest girlfriends gave me this book to read ( we both have daughters 19-20 months old ) and what a joy this book was! I Loved it and read it in 2 days! So fun and such a treat! Thanks to Christie Mellor for her honest, down to earth writing. I needed this. Wish I had read it a year or so ago but better late than never! I have since reading it, bought 2 more to give to my sister that is trying to get pregnant and another sister-in-law of mine! This book is just so fun! Maybe not for everyone...however, I think everyone should and could benefit from it! This is my kind of book! Loved it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

If you're looking for a sweet book about the precious moments of motherhood, "The Three-Martini Playdate" is not it. This clever book takes a hilarious look at hyper-parenting today, wraps it up with a retro tone and spits it out with sarcasm. Warning: This book is not for the humorless. But if the title makes you snicker, it's for you and the other exhausted moms in your playgroup.
Hilarious! April 10, 2004

This book is right on! It's a humerous look at child-rearing. I am eight months pregnant and I work in education. I am constantly exposed to spoiled kids, over-the-top parents, and many of the stereotypes Mellor writes about in the book. I already know what kind of parent I DON'T want to be, and Mellor's book just confirms it. It's a great laugh!
definitely a five-olive read! April 7, 2004
